Race Evaluation
West Point Annual National Ranking Event: Middle - Green-X
cmorse
| 1. | +00:15 | Slow start, contouring on rocky hillside, trying to make sense of mapping. Wound up slightly high, saw small boulder a bit lower, hesitated until realizing the uphill side of boulder was 0.5m and headed down. | |||||
| 2. | slow and tentative again... | ||||||
| 3. | +00:15 | Up L side of reentrant, went a little beyond the correct boulder and wrapped back | |||||
| 4. | Straight, still a little hesitant to pick up the pace. | ||||||
| 5. | straight | ||||||
| 6. | straight | ||||||
| 7. | around S side of hill | ||||||
| 8. | found an unmapped trail down to the dam | ||||||
| 9. | +00:10 | straight through green, slightly L of flag, corrected | |||||
| 10. | Laurel looked pretty passable, and for the most part it was, but others seemed quite a bit faster going N of the line | ||||||
| 11. | +00:25 | R of the green appeared to have a lot of deadfall, so went L instead, then straight up spur - in blueberry. Those that went R were faster | |||||
| 12. | +01:00 | Pretty much straight, up along line of cliffs but didn't see a bag, description said 'between' so assumed something above - climbed up top, then saw flag tucked in below. Arghhh | |||||
| 13. | Straight but slow in blueberry | ||||||
| 14. | same, more slow going | ||||||
| 15. | +02:00 | Tried to follow edge of green, but laurel more diffuse than expected, wasn't 100% sure of my position, pulled up short misreading what I thought was bare rock to my R. Hunted in laurel briefly before spotting my reentrant lower down | |||||
| 16. | Slow pick in rocky ground | ||||||
| 17. | Down to trail, but that wasn't terribly runnable either... | ||||||
| 18. | Up to trail and around. Considered climbing like many others did, but then noted knoll was in a reentrant facing trail, so ran around and in the easy way | ||||||
| F. | And finish.. |
