Race Evaluation

Colorado 5-Day: Day 3: Green

Charlie's comments - by leg

1. I do well on streamered routes!
2. Time Lost: 00:30Missed it a bit right and hit the fence - looked back up the hill and saw it.
3. Easy - saw the spur from a distance
4. Straight - saw the flag first, then the feature.
5. Time Lost: 01:30How did I miss this? I must have gone within 10 meters. Got too far and past the rocky spur on the S, so headed back and found it.
6. Down the spur, saw the big rock before it, then the little yellow reentrant. Spike.
7. Time Lost: 06:00Thought about going right to the trail, and about going up the reentrant toward the campground. Both of those would have been fine. Instead I went up toward the fence corner, and climbed over the big rocky sections. Then I saw two different flags that weren't mine, multiple times. I was just stuck one reentrant too short. Bummer.
8. Time Lost: 03:00Out to the trail and along the trail a bit to the bend R side of line. Over the tip of the spur to the reentrant and up toward the control. Again I got stuck wandering among the boulders and knolls just below the control.
9. Time Lost: 02:00Got a little confused among the yellow patches and drifted right. Moving slowly until I saw the big rocky knoll. Still had a bit of trouble finding the knoll with the flag, although I was headed right for it. Mark Voit came streaking in and punched in front of me.
10. Time Lost: 02:30To the trail and right on the trail a bit past the large rock features. Then straight on compass looking for the shallow reentrant. Found a dot knoll in there, but it was the wrong one, so I ran up and down the linear rocky ground until I found it. Unfortunately I went the wrong way first.
11. Down the reentrant to the trail and to the EW trail. Cut across spur and down the reentrant.
12. Time Lost: 00:30Past the control by the dot knoll on top of the spur, and drifted a bit left before correcting back to the flag.
13. A little shaky, but found the trail before the control, and the rocky ground, then cut across the yellow to the boulder
14. Hoping to stay under an hour, but not quite. This was my worst run of the 5-day. Just couldn't execute in the circle. A lousy putting day!

Total Time Lost - 00:16:00
