Race Evaluation

DVOA Mount Penn - Antietam: Red

ErikEddy

1. P D P R 4 +00:15I saw three people head down the main trail so I took a few steps down the path before flipping over the map. The best route was actually backwards up a new path that led to good open woods run. Misread the clue a little not seeing the flag on the south side (that was start's clue). It was tucked on the SW.
2. P D P R 3 Didn't try to look for the mtb path and just went straight picking decent spots through the boulder climb
3. P D P 3 +00:20Little slow on the exit through crap. I took the unmapped trail. I could have been faster on the road, or if the trail was mapped I would have hopped off earlier. Good into the flag.
4. P D P R 3 Kept good direction using the mtb path for a little and verifying the path junction at the road cross. Straight at it
5. P P R 5 Road to ballfield. I thought this was a pretty good route with a good attack angle. My exit from the control could have been straighter.. I went due SW to road. Careful on the approach.
6. P D P 3 +00:15Took the road, but trail but have been marginally faster. Hesitant coming in from telephone post.
7. P D P R 4 Left the trail at the stream. A little confusing but I had pretty good distance judgement.
8. P D P R 4 +00:15Old railroad bed to contour around well. Dropped down to unmarked path to cross powerline (which was overgrown anyways)-not necessary. Hesitated.. bottom of cave... it's inside! Lost 95 sec to Sam.. he is strong on woods runs.
9. P D P R 3 Left route using unmapped path from #3. Slowed down to come in 90 degrees of slight bend/form line in trail. Walked in and saw it in very low visibility.
10. P D P 3 Planned to take lower trail with earlier read ahead, but switched to upper trail coming out of 9 and diagonal down open woods. Ended up at the circle in path and came in.
11. P D P R 4 +00:15Right route go around. To nature center through parking lot up small path east side of lot on road. Hesitated 2-3 times on path with a few "false hilltops". Saw the rock wall and actually saw the flag from the trail. I think this route would have been fastest but I hesitated early on.
12. P D P R 1 trail run
F. +00:05okay.. I need to sprint in faster next time.

Total Time Lost - 00:01:25
