Race Evaluation

ROC - Mendon Ponds Park Regular Event: Red

1.							Decided to try to be more aggressive and go faster today. Worked fine for exactly two controls.
2.
3.							Using the edge of the swamp for attack was a bad idea. There was very little swamp left after this dry summer. Wandered into the prickers and got stuck.
4.							Should have stayed on the trail longer to avoid downed trees, but map showed white and it looked like less climb.
5.							Wrong hill. Twice.
6.							Tried to stick to the trail, but picked the wrong one. When I got close I managed to talk myself into going too far east. That's enough screwing around. Slow down. Be precise.
7.
8.
9.
10.							Long slog. Used the minor trail to go out and around control 4. At the big trail junction I went down into the linear depression, followed it most of the way so I didn't have to climb all the way over the top of the spur.
11.
12.
13.							Course notes said this would be tricky. I over-thought this. Attacked from clearing on top of the hill. I should have just gone straight in.
