Race Evaluation

NEOC Troll Cup: blue

ken

1. a no-brainer
2. came off the corner of the stone wall, and gradually away from it into the control
3. went a little right, to the wall jct, then back left above the little reentrant and into control.
4. to the edge of (dry) marsh up to bend in trail. followed white band up hill, over rocks, top of the hill, then into the control
5. No attack point
Did not check features en route
+00:30
running along the top, it was pretty thick in the green part. seemed to be going in the right direction here but on the wrong bearing (wierd compass?) anyway, over big hilltop. had difficulty distinguishing little spurs on the other side, but kept going. got into the green and turned left some. came into the little reentrant 10m below control. could have been a lot worse, I decided to be more careful about attack points after that.
6. out towards the wall and trail, drifted right in the green, came back left once I got out of it. on the trail until the corner, then up and right to the stone wall. kept it in sight on the left, following it to the intersection, then south to the corner, and attacked from here.
7. Hesitated
back to the wall, this time below, but again keeping it in sight until the intersection, then down the reentrant and across to the control. checked code on another control just before mine.
8. up the hill, left of the little hilltops, into the control (hiding behind rock)
9. Hesitated
+00:15
up to the top, along the narrow hilltop, hesitated a little checking to make sure I wasn't on a parallel one. down the reentrant. saw the control on my left when I got right next to it.
10. +00:20down to the dry-ish marsh and along on the right of the green stuff, and the wet marsh. cut left after the thick green. came in left of the control (too high) and went south to the cliff.
11. Hesitated
+00:05
straight at it, across the river, running left a little, then across and up the opposite side after the cliffs. over the top and down into the control. stopped just a little short when I didn't see the control behind a tree.
12. went right of the straight line, hitting the trail at the junction then along it and attacked from the bend. probably better just to go straight here.
13. sort of just running over the hill here, not paying close attention to where I was, just following the compass. hit the same wall I followed to #6, down to the trail, then along that and stone wall, over little spur up the marsh into control.
14. Did not like map
Bad distance judgement
+00:20
running up the reentrant, which seemed to end earlier than mapped, so I cut left up the hill and looked around a little, then continued on into control.
15. Bad route choice
Lacked confidence
had a feeling I might mess this up, so I took the safer and dumber route along the wall to the north attacking from the wall/trail junction. this was a lot of extra climb over the hill but also super-easy navigation. next time i'd go the other way.
16. contoured down to wall jct, then around top of big depression and down into control.
17. this area seemed wierd. thought I was running straight to control, but came to the wall jct (oh well) along the flat and up the hill (higher than I thought it would be) into the depression.
18. across field, cutting in at metal box thing. around left of some other control, then further to mine
19. back up and along the edge of field
F. all done
