Race Evaluation
US Champs, Day 2: Red X
Cristina
| 1. | +03:00 | Stupid thicket. Pulled too high on the hill, hacked around the southern patch of green. Stubborness lost me time. | |||||
| 2. | +01:00 | Again too far to the right. | |||||
| 3. | +02:00 | And once again too far too the right. At least I was consistent. :-) | |||||
| 4. | +02:00 | Misread discription as east side. Stubborness again. | |||||
| 5. | +01:00 | Yet again to the right. Should have realized that the field was wrong. | |||||
| 6. | Things got better from this leg on. Pam passed up the hill, never saw her again (obviously). Deliberate route, but nailed it. | ||||||
| 7. | Gaining confidence... | ||||||
| 8. | Still deliberate, not quite comitting ever, but no nav mistakes. | ||||||
| 9. | Started to think faster, pumped about finishing. | ||||||
| 10. | Moved faster here, using the big field to the right as a guide. | ||||||
| 11. | Feeling pretty good about the second half at this point. | ||||||
| 12. | +00:30 | Crossed the trail higher than I had planned (and thought I was doing) but recovered quickly. Not optimal. | |||||
| 13. | Really feeling like I was getting in to the map. | ||||||
| 14. | +02:00 | Okay, slight bobble here - ended up on the feature to the right again. That can be prevented | |||||
| 15. | I was actually pretty lucky on this one. Couldn't decide whether to aim far left or not, I guess the "right lean" cancelled it out, ended up just left in the big field. | ||||||
| 16. | This felt like a very long 150m. | ||||||
| F. | Hardest finish sprint yet! |
