Race Evaluation

NEOC Gay City: Red

1.		Contoured straight.
2.
3.
4.
5.	+03:00	Slow climbing hill, didn't feel so great what with it being so warm. A little spacy approaching the control, not quite sure where I was, and I think I might have passed just to the south of it, but mised seeing the boulder or control in the undergrowth. Headed uphill, and relocated on large boulder; never saw stone wall on the way up nor the way back down.
6.
7.	+01:00	Got a bit low, and hunted around. Map seems a little shaky here -- not much sign of a trickle near the cairn as far as I could see.
8.
9.
10.
11.	+01:30	Misread contours, and thought that taking the trail would involve unnecessary climb, when it's in fact quite flat. Headed out much too far to the left, crossed the trail and contoured, hitting the second trail, and then had to climb back up to where the control was.
F.	+01:00	Went too far to the right, and got to what appeared to be a dam or something, but it was pretty green. It was also facing the wrong direction, but somehow that didn't faze me. Got across, and realized that I had just passed along the edge of the southwestern lake. Duh. Went straight from there, across the river (three steps, shin deep, hard bottom, no problem) and up the hill.
