Race Evaluation
TGoIF: Red
cmorse
| 1. | +00:45 | conservative - trail up to hill, got high and had to come down. should have just run up reentrant an in. | |||||
| 2. | +00:30 | tried to avoid climb by staying low - too low.... too slow | |||||
| 3. | clean and straight to trail junction - saw Phil B off to the left. followed small trail to stonewall, then straight from there. Punched in just before Michael Hughes who started 2min before me.. Cool... now to pad that gain - or at least not lose that 2 min advantage!! | ||||||
| 4. | +00:30 | a little thrashing in green, uphill into broad reentrant - saw Peter Anderson above (thought he was on Red, but actually was on Blue) above wall junction and straight - wound up just west of control, corrected quickly and punched in just behind Michael | |||||
| 5. | straight and clean, Michael went right but still punched ahead of me and got away in front. | ||||||
| 6. | +01:15 | north of marsh, then along slope - through rock cluster (dumb move, should have gone below). looking for reentrant beyond small hill but wound up searching just SW of circle until I noted boulders there, and realized where I was | |||||
| 7. | +00:20 | straight, south of small pond but hooked around too much too left and in reentrant N of small hill - realized the error quickly and back up and over | |||||
| 8. | +00:15 | drifted a little left, but corrected and in | |||||
| 9. | +00:20 | drifted left again, winding up under cliff near wall, corrected again | |||||
| 10. | +00:20 | straight line, just left of line using contour features and large rock enroute. climbed over long knoll too far N of flag and had to come back | |||||
| 11. | +00:35 | got off on right side of spur above, momentarily confused and came back | |||||
| 12. | more careful now in the technical - clean | ||||||
| 13. | another cautious but clean leg | ||||||
| 14. | +01:00 | contoured N of hillside, then along stonewall to saddle and down along east slope of hill to flag - clean but perhaps not the straightest route | |||||
| 15. | opted for the fast downhill run to the east of the pond picking up trail rather than risking the green/marshy stuff to the west. left trail and climbed over knoll to find inlet/marsh was one big pond - ran/swam right on through and cleanly up to flag. | ||||||
| 16. | +00:30 | right of line, across trail along stonewall and then downhill - wound up in depression S of control circle but knew where I was and up and over to correct depression | |||||
| 17. | +01:30 | wound up high - mistook small boulder S of circle for the large one and looked higher still before heading downhill again | |||||
| 18. | straight, falling in stream enroute - no one in field ahead of me, running along edge looking for flag | ||||||
| F. | Michael H in the chute just ahead of me - I had managed to preserve my 2 minute gain early on. Also edged Doug G by a couple minutes to get my first ever M-40 win. Overall a clean run, a few minor bobbles, but less humidity allowed me to see the woods (and map) and I was able to maintain a reasonably good pace throughout the run. |
