Race Evaluation
NEOC Townsend SF: Red
dness
| 1. | went N from edge of pond, fought through my first batch of mountain laurel to land on the control | ||||||
| 2. | ugh. Really poor route choice. NE, SE, E to the trail. Ran to bend in trail after marsh on R, then W. Wrong. Went back to trail ran N to the correct bend in trail after marsh on R, then W. Ran into a nice woman who complained she had spent 1/2 hour in the woods looking for it. | ||||||
| 3. | followed ditch for a while, then cut slightly NW | ||||||
| 4. | |||||||
| 5. | Decided I was sick of thick stuff. Used road. | ||||||
| 6. | Saw Michael Hughes running to 7 (but thought he was on his way to 5.) | ||||||
| 7. | Figured out what Michael was doing when I saw him before. Obviously it was the thing to do. | ||||||
| 8. | Oh s**t. Not more junk. Oh well. Plowed W through thick stuff. Ended up on the trail bend E of the control, but didn't trust myself - ended up running to the hilltop on the trail to the N and then following the ridge. Bingo. | ||||||
| 9. | Not across that mess again! Ran south for a while on the trail, then cut due E - picked up the trail on the other side ride by the trail intersection. Not as bad as before. Ran S to just before the sharp bend and went too far to the E and found a marsh (dragging that nice woman again with me). Backtracked and found the stream. | ||||||
| 10. | S to trail, then cut across. Boy was it thick with young pine. Got wet. | ||||||
| 11. | Got wetter on the way out. Still thick! | ||||||
| 12. | |||||||
| F. | Now I don't feel so bad about about the stuff i had people go through at Harold Parker! |
