Race Evaluation
Brooksvale WCOC Meet: Red
cmorse
| 1. | clean via trail, a little tentative as I got used to map | ||||||
| 2. |
Bad map reading +01:00 | flag not on boulder I had circled, I moved up and down hill along powerline before trying further into woods | |||||
| 3. |
Bad map reading Bad distance judgement +02:00 | stayed left of stream, no vegetation edge whatsoever, got up on top of ridge and contours just didn't make sense. Slowing down to sort them out, I pulled up short and tentatively moved on eventually getting into flag behind Charlie | |||||
| 4. | decided to disregard vegetation/contours - went straight, crossed final stream between the marshes, saw flag above and to the right | ||||||
| 5. | +01:00 | climbed up hill hoping for better footing (not) - moving slowly trying to match rock - no matches - skirted east side of hill - laurel seemed fairly well mapped - but not trusting it so went slow, then punched through right at the flag - time lost due to slow, hesitant pace, not due to drifting or errors | |||||
| 6. |
Hesitated +00:30 | kind of rocky, definitely not fast, straight again, pulled up a little early to ensure I didn't overrun but then saw flag in distance about where I expected it | |||||
| 7. |
Bad map reading +01:00 | misread this one - didn't see tag lines and was thinking I was looking for a reentrant from top of a knoll, then realized the big depression and realized I pulled up short again - ran down hill and right up into reetrant | |||||
| 8. | +00:30 | straight into slash, slow pickings, then onto trail took bearing from sharp right staying left of line, up spur west of knoll and right in. Time lost due to picking through slash | |||||
| 9. | +00:30 | straight and clean - Rich mentioned this on wrong boulder so I slowed up a few hundred meters early and went slow and 'searching' | |||||
| 10. | straight and clean, | ||||||
| 11. |
Ran too fast Bad map reading Lacked concentration +01:00 | caught Phil in here, pushed hard along the ridge then managed to misread control as west facing off ridge rather than east facing on opposite side of reentrant - wound up in rocky ground 125m east before realizing my mistake | |||||
| 12. | Phil had gotten ahead of me again here, but must have gone low - I went straight and came down spur from above | ||||||
| F. | +00:45 | should have gone back up to trail, but instead tried to push through to field and in. |
