Race Evaluation
Rochester A-Meet: Blue Day 1
graeme
| 1. | Slope looked very steep, so went down to track and along and up. | ||||||
| 2. | Track again. | ||||||
| 3. | straight, struggling to run in the terrain | ||||||
| 4. | straight | ||||||
| 5. | straight | ||||||
| 6. | straight | ||||||
| 7. | straight - got too low and relocated on clearing below. | ||||||
| 8. | |||||||
| 9. | |||||||
| 10. | +05:00 | left to climb in the white, track, then cut in on the spur and everything stopped making sense. Missed the path, flapped around for a bit saw but ignored Joe Brautigam, (failed to follow others doesn't seem to feature on the error analysis list) then bailed out to try again - picking up the small path from the road. Then it was fine. | |||||
| 11. | Left to trail, round top of slope and in. Now moving pretty quickly. | ||||||
| 12. | +01:00 | Nasty veg leaving control, so drop right to trail. Probably too much extra climb to be good. wimp out of crossing marsh on fallen log. | |||||
| 13. | OK | ||||||
| 14. | OK, still moving well in nice woods | ||||||
| 15. | down to road again. Big climb to control, hard to keep running, but looks hard to avoid substantial climb or steep slope contouring. | ||||||
| 16. | OK | ||||||
| 17. | Pass Joe on the road | ||||||
| 18. | up the valley bottom | ||||||
| 19. | straight | ||||||
| 20. | +08:00 | Joe passes me in the woods, then I passed him on the road, then when he cut in (too early) I followed. We spent a long time on wrong slopes and wrong marshes before finally getting to the circle, but still couldn't find the flag until Mark Adams showed up. | |||||
| 21. | |||||||
| F. | I must get back into the habit of taking splits! |
