Race Evaluation
Rocky Mountain 1000 Day: Chase
Charlie
| 1. | Enough people close in front to make this an easy leg | ||||||
| 2. | Further left than the folks ahead, and out of sight, but apparently a straighter route and caught a couple of folks coming in from the left. | ||||||
| 3. | Straight. Caught and passed Sharon at the control. | ||||||
| 4. | Saw line of woods from a distance, so easy navigation | ||||||
| 5. | To corner of yellow and through the slot. | ||||||
| 6. | Crossed green near junction, so only crossed once. Behing Andrew Childs. Saw Mook heading to #10 apparently. Andrew kept going straight once we were past the hilltop, though, so I cut off and went on my own. A little nervous about the route, but found the right aspen patch and up the spur. | ||||||
| 7. | Past #15 and the finish. Saw a bunch of folks at #9 and headed there before correcting. Glen T ahead, and Kissy. | ||||||
| 8. | |||||||
| 9. | +07:00 | Kissy still in sight as I left control. I was planning on going right, but Kissy went straight and I followed, but she was soon out of sight. Tried to read aspen patches and terrain over the top and to the right, but got hopelessly confused when I thought I should be getting there. Obviously had no idea of what it was going to look like. After a bit I bailed out and headed S, hoping to see something, and saw runners headed E who could only be going here, so hopped on the train behind Susie DeWitt | |||||
| 10. | +06:00 | Following some folks, but it seemed they were going way too far right, and kept going about the right distance until I figured out I had made a 90 degree error. Corrected ok and ran up the reentrant from the east, but pretty ticked off at myself. | |||||
| 11. | Caught up to Andrew again here, and with him the rest of the way. | ||||||
| 12. | |||||||
| 13. | |||||||
| 14. | +01:30 | Thought going out to the road would be better, but Andrew went straight so I went along. Slow climbing and reading. I'm sure road would have been much faster. | |||||
| F. | Andrew left me well in the dust! |
