Race Evaluation

US Short and Long Championships: Green X 1 (Short)

PBricker's comments - by leg

1. Followed Eric Smith to the control.
2. Small miss to the right, but no problem
3. Again a bit off to the right, which is strange because I went right over the small knoll just before the circle.
4. Straight through thick veg.
5. Up the steep hillside, then along the top of the hillside, coming in a bit high.
6. Attacked from trail due north, using the little cliff to guide me right to it.
7. Time Lost: 00:20Drifted left and when I got near the big cliff I stopped for a second to ponder whether I should try to go over it and attack from above. Nope. Headed north around the cliff and around the corner.
8. Time Lost: 01:40Ignored the trail and crossed at the stream junction. Didn't take a careful compass bearing because it looked easy: run along the side of the spur until the form line knoll appears. But never saw any form line knoll, and thought I might have gone too far along the spur. Some wandering about.
9. Attacked from trail bend, missing it a tad left.
10. Straight, over the knoll, coming to the hillside a bit right. Stopped to scan in both directions, and saw a promising downed tree. Flag was on the other side.
11. Straight.
12. Time Lost: 00:30Mixed up route choice, worst of both worlds. Started to go straight, but the green kept pushing me right. Once I realized I was so close to the hillside, I plunged down it, crossed the stream (one foot wet), and ran up the road past the finish.
13.

Total Time Lost - 00:02:30
