Race Evaluation
Greenbelt Training: B1

| 1. | +00:20 | This was the second loop. Having waited for Ted (who was taking time to check features at #10), we started together again. I got too high and rather confused for such a short leg. | |||||
| 2. | +00:15 | Straightish, getting near the road then over more crappy downfall than I encountered the first time. I conciously kept right a bit since last time I was left. I hit an east/west ditch left again and used that to correct to the ditch pair. | |||||
| 3. | Straightish. I mis-counted ditches or there was an extra one. I should have just used the road. It was slow going in the downfall and getting around the gullies. Finally, I did use the road to round the gullies and backdoor the control. | ||||||
| 4. | Up the road to the intersection then down the white woods like before. | ||||||
| 5. | Straightish but I got pushed right by the mountain laurel. I corrected crossing the campground near the toilets then down the reentrant to the junction. | ||||||
| 6. | I went straightish reasoning that this was training and I should practice reading my way across. Eventually I did use portions of the upper Blueberry trail. I attacked of the trail junction east of the control. I knew what to look for this time so I wasted no time decided if it was really a ditch or not. | ||||||
| 7. | +00:30 | Straight over. I saw Ted hunting for his pit. We exchanged details on what to look for since the vegetation was off. I dropped too low then climbed back and hit it. | |||||
| 8. | Straightish to the Perimeter Trail. I was reading the map too long past the junction and overshot where I wanted to leave it. I caught a glimpse of Ted. I came up the big reentrant a bit to get back on track. Going up hill I was unsure where I was and tired but I hit the ruin and went around the downfall on the high side to the ditch. It was more of a reentrant than a ditch. | ||||||
| 9. | Down to the stream junction. Another glimpse of Ted? Up from there to the shallow reentrant. | ||||||
| 10. | Down to the trail as before and definately see Ted below on the trail--I had a better line but he still was ahead. I crossed the bridge then went up before crossing the stream. I started to go straight across the wet ditches but it was crappy looking so I went back down to the stream and to the bend. I went up from there. There was extra stuff here. I wanted to make sure I'd gone high enough and think I did. The ditch seemed to become a reentrant. | ||||||
| F. | Fast down to the stream, there's Ted again, already across and running to the finish. Over a bit before crossing at a nice almost ramp angled to my direction. In straight to the finish a bit behind Ted. |
