Race Evaluation

NEOC Wolf Den: Green

cmorse's comments - by leg

1. Time Lost: 00:10trail to jct, cross at dam, up to road, in after narrow marsh - about 20m low
2. Time Lost: 00:10slow to maintain contact over top, came down R side of spur, hopped over at bare rock
3. Time Lost: 00:20marsh, then across at long cliff, slow up to avoid getting in wrong reentrant
4. Bad route choice
Bad map reading
Confused parallel features
Time Lost: 03:00
straight through green - yuck - then pulled up short failing to notice 2nd, lower small marsh - tried to make sense of contours & rock, then saw that correct marsh was farther up hill ... looking over my shoulder for Wil now...
5. above green, cross narrow marsh, then head uphill toward broad spur, stop halfway to check map - pit & flag 10' to my R
6. trail through green to parking, between outhouses and straight
7. Time Lost: 00:15up the marsh, wound up a tad low before correcting
8. Time Lost: 00:20fairly straight, but after crossing marsh started down spur to NW - saw large boulder in distance and corrected
9. W of green, estimating distance covered, cut downhill just about perfectly
10. blast S of marsh to trail, then quickly back in to bag
11. L of line cutting corner, but not straight downhill as the footing seemed tentative
12. run hard

Total Time Lost - 00:04:15
