Race Evaluation
NEOC Lincoln Woods: Red
dness
| 1. | Took me a while to get oriented. When I hit the stone wall, I started running SE(when I had intended to go SW). After vacillating I continued to the SE , crossed the marsh at the trail, then back. | ||||||
| 2. | straight | ||||||
| 3. | straight | ||||||
| 4. | intended to skirt around S end of marsh, then found it to be crossable. When I climbed up I thought I was more NE than I was, and looked at the wrong boulder pair. Took a minute to figure out to go NE. | ||||||
| 5. | Stayed high, hit the road when it was still N-S, then navigated from corner | ||||||
| 6. | pretty much straight | ||||||
| 7. | Took the trail to the west, stopped short and was confused. I think I was overcaffeinated and overhydrated, affecting my thinking. Continued on and found it. | ||||||
| 8. | NW to the trail crossing the swamp, then follow stone wall to reentrant | ||||||
| 9. | Straight (still a little woozy) | ||||||
| 10. | Run around E side of cliff | ||||||
| 11. | Fairly straight | ||||||
| 12. | Straight | ||||||
| 13. | Went to road, and misreading contours, was confused when I didn't see a second hill. | ||||||
| 14. | Plan was to contour around, somehow ended up dropping down to the road. Straight from the corner. Unnecessary climb | ||||||
| 15. | Immediately noticed my compass had detached from the lanyard and had gone walkabout. I looked for it in the leaves around the control, but couldn't find it (it was there, as I discovered later). Decided to do without as a training exercise. Boy there were a lot of confusing cliffs on the way to the control. | ||||||
| 16. | Straightforward | ||||||
| 17. | Here's where I started really wishing I had my compass. Hitting trails going every which way I managed to pick the right directions. | ||||||
| 18. | And finally, the lack of a compass really did me in here. I went too high and it took me a minute to figure that out. On the way down I met up with JJ who led me to the control | ||||||
| 19. | Ran in slightly the wrong direction ending at the ginormous cliff -- took trails from there. | ||||||
| F. | Run trails (L of line). |
