Race Evaluation

Mt Tom: Red

GlenT's comments - by leg

1. Through the parking lot, up the hill to the road, attack off the trail/road jct. Control was a busy place.
2. Time Lost: 13:00Plan: head in general direction of the control using nothing but vegetation to navigate and ignoring distance. Executed perfectly. Plan B: Find #3 on Green course, come back 200m to correct stream and use the terrain features to find the control. D'oh.
3. Time Lost: 01:00Got a bit high on the hill but spotted the huge boulder on the way and corrected.
4. Low (right) around most of the rocky stuff
5. Along the line to the rocky ground, up to the saddle, then up some more to the control - 13 contours in 300m!
6. Time Lost: 04:00Went low to the left of the two lines of cliffs but then went between the wrong hills (off by 45 deg). Came back and got it right on the second try.
7. Left of line, down the streambed towards #1 then cut over to trail, west to drainage from trail and attack from two cliffs east of control
8. South to the road, up to the top of the spur.
9. Down the sharp reentrant, across the broad reentrant and up to the boulder
10. Left of line to second trail, trail to bend, past marsh and in over spur.
11. Pretty much on the straight line being sure to track where I was - maybe a bit too cautious?
12.
13. Up and down a few times.
14. Time Lost: 01:00Stayed low along the marsh and in the woods. Trail would've been faster even with more climb.
15. One foot in the stream on the way in. Nice course by Phil. Thanks.

Total Time Lost - 00:19:00
