Race Evaluation
MNOC Chester Woods County Park: Red
P.Stromme
| 1. | P | D | P | R | 3 | Took the road around | |
| 2. | P | D | P | R | 3 | Straight shot | |
| 3. | P | D | P | R | 3 | There was a mown trail through the prairie, mapped as a ride (narrow yellow line in the middle of tan). I didn't see it on the map, and thought I had reached a trail that I was looking for. Not much lost, though. | |
| 4. | P | D | P | R | 3 | Hit the trail, and then follow the shallow reentrant to the control. | |
| 5. | P | D | P | R | 3 | Trail across the prairie, then to the end of a clearing and into the control. | |
| 6. | P | D | P | R | 3 | More or less straight shot over the spur an into the next reentrant. | |
| 7. | P | D | P | R | 3 | Trail skirting the edge of the prairie, then followed a narrow ride through dark green to the control. | |
| 8. | P | D | P | R | 3 | Crossed the stream at #7, then up the other side to #8. | |
| 9. | P | D | P | R | 3 | Trail through dark green, then across the prairie. | |
| 10. | P | D | P | R | 3 | I avoided getting my feet wet by crossing a log across the stream. Apparently it slowed me down, because AP has me losing 0:41. | |
| 11. | P | D | P | R | 3 | Hit the trail, and then followed the dry creek bed to the control. | |
| 12. | P | D | P | 3 | My route was OK, but a straight shot MIGHT have been better | ||
| 13. | P | D | P | R | 3 | I hit the trail and took the long way. It definitely would have been faster to cut across--shorter distance, and less than half the climb. | |
| 14. | P | D | P | R | 3 | My planned route was OK, but I probably would have done better to avoid as much climb initially. Should have hit the first trail, then contoured around, instead of climbing to the 2nd trail and contouring. | |
| 15. | P | D | 3 | I'm not so sure about the location of this control. I think it was closer to the water than mapped. | |||
| 16. | P | D | P | R | 3 | Big screw up here. Ended up about 200m east of where I wanted to be. Fortunately, I realized it before I went any further. A compass might have helped prevent the mistake here. After the mistake, I chose to take a trail instead of cutting through open forest. It was slower, but it helped me regroup. | |
| 17. | P | D | P | R | 3 | I probably should have cut across the 2 reentrants, instead of going around on the trail. Considered punching 214 (i.e., the malfunctioning control) as I passed, just to see what would happen. But I didn't. | |
| 18. | P | D | P | R | 3 | This is when I noticed the ride that I had missed on my way to #3. My route was good, but I spaced out and ran right past the control. Had to back track 15-20m. | |
| F. | P | D | P | R | 3 | Got stuck behind a wedding party that was taking pictures on the bridge. |
