Race Evaluation

WCOC Sessions Woods: Red Course

Charlie

1. Through the clearing, down the narrow spur and could see the hill developing. I've been lost in this area before, but clean this time.
2. Thought about road around, but just went SW, and more W than I realized. Took little trail stub on right side of line that ends in a small building, and then just down the gully through the dark green. Went to the cliff control because I thought that was the right one, but since there wasn't a bag there continued on to the pit.
3. Trail around to the left. Left trail at the big rocks and across the narrow spur and broader reentrant, hitting the shallow reentrant a line or two above the bag, realizing then that my finger was feeling a little loose and my SI stick was gone. Looked for it for a while, then pressed on punching on the map.
4. Right to the stream, then up past the big rocks and up the reentrant into the control.
5. Trail to just NNE of the control, then carefully between the cliffs, but could see the flag from a bit of a distance.
6. Back to the trail would have been best, but went NW instead to the marsh, crossing near stone wall S of trail, then up and over the hill.
7. Around, attacking from the trail bend W of control.
8. Left side of reentrant, then picked up dry ditch and charcoal platform. Couldn't see flag until I was almost on top of it.
9. N to trail, trail to corner near big rocky knoll, then on compass. Saw Clint and son along the way.
10. To stone wall corner then along stream
11. On compass to stone wall, then below until wall ended and into reentrant
12. On compass and uphill, drifting a bit right and correcting. This was the first bag I felt insecure enough to check the code and it was wrong! However, all was well because I was looking at the code on my clue sheet which was from 2002 and the ribbon said Red 12, so I was in the clear.
13. Basically along the straight line, checking off lots of features along the way. Nice woods here.
14. Most of the way along the straight line, getting on the left side of the stream, and then getting futrhter left climbing the hill to the upper trail and approaching the control from the N.
15.
