Race Evaluation
USMA Extreme-O: Intermediate
JanetT
| 1. | I knew I was going to be slowest here; I do 12+ min/mile on training runs | ||||||
| 2. | |||||||
| 3. | |||||||
| 4. | Saw Ellen O'Keeffe higher on spur than I was headed; adventure racers much farther down the spur, so I pulled ahead of them. | ||||||
| 5. | |||||||
| 6. | |||||||
| 7. | |||||||
| 8. | Coming out of 6 I stayed high to cross stream because I could see an awful lot of black/rock hiding under the circle. Made up good time on Ellen, Mairead and Bob R. who stayed on S side longer. | ||||||
| 9. | |||||||
| 10. | |||||||
| 11. | Good thing Ellen and Mairead were still in view; I didn't look at the map long enough. | ||||||
| 12. | |||||||
| 13. | |||||||
| 14. | Still keeping Ellen and Mairead in view; Joe B. runs up the hill past us. | ||||||
| 15. | I had checked out the plotting instructions ahead of time so left the top before Ellen & Mairead. | ||||||
| 16. | Intended to take spur NE until I was past the swamp, but I got "sucked in" too. Could hear outcries to my left as E&M found the swamp. Brrr! | ||||||
| 17. | Saw Ellen and Mairead come out onto road as I was leaving control. | ||||||
| 18. | |||||||
| 19. | I futzed around in the more northern reentrant for awhile, not believing I had to go over the edge of the hill. Must have been getting tired/brain dead. M&E caught up and said it was over the edge. | ||||||
| 20. | Headed SE towards stream instead of directly towards lake, intended to save my legs some with a slightly less-steep descent. M&E followed me, then pulled ahead. | ||||||
| 21. | M&E took off while I struggled to carry the weight. | ||||||
| 22. | |||||||
| 23. | M&E were taking the 2-min penalty but I cleared 1st obstacle okay and all subsequent ones with no penalties. Pulled ahead of M&E again. | ||||||
| F. | Mairead took the penalty on the bat spin while I spun myself silly. |
