Race Evaluation
West Point Day 1: blue
Wyatt
| 1. | +00:30 | Contoured in - slow - trail around probably better | |||||
| 2. | +00:10 | Saw Mike W. going back to 1 on my way to 2 (he went S-2...), ended up a little right but Angelica was there to cut across in front of me to our common bag. | |||||
| 3. | Left through saddle, then cautiously contoured in along terraces, reading many little features, including the dot knolls and sorting through what was and wasn't mapped. | ||||||
| 4. | +00:20 | Up out right a bit, then dropped, more right than planned, but contouring in was fine. | |||||
| 5. | +00:30 | Left along the roads until the indistinct marsh, then through the light green, up and in. A little confused as to what was what on the way in, hestitating twice, but eventually clued in. | |||||
| 6. | |||||||
| 7. | Weaved right near trail, then back, pushed to punch ahead of Mike W. | ||||||
| 8. | Chased Mike out to road. Diagonaled in as he went up and caught sight of him again as we contoured along the rocks and in. | ||||||
| 9. | +02:00 | He bailed back out, I went straight. I got lost on the rocks and knoll SW of the bag (thought I had somehow hit the top of the hill). Figured it out by a lot of stand-still map reading. | |||||
| 10. | Diagonal down, to field corner, in to cliffs and drop. Wow Mike did this fast. | ||||||
| 11. | +01:00 | Contoured out below the rocks, then across, then somehow ended up all the way below the big cliff (even though I thought I'd been climbing a little). Contoured in from there along much of the steepest part of the hillside. Fell twice into what I thought was poison ivy sprigs. (Maybe not as I'm not itchy yet...) Apparently climbing to the flatter group was better for contouring | |||||
| 12. | +01:00 | Out to trail, crossed it, then back and down, contoured in hitting lower (correct?) rock cluster first, and then, standing on top of it, I saw the bag up the hill (misplaced, I think.) | |||||
| 13. | Hard up/around and across the marsh - clue helped here. | ||||||
| 14. | Along creek, crossed before (nice) waterfall, ran along right side of creek/marsh, and in. | ||||||
| 15. | Back out the same way, and then up. Somebody was running away from me big time. | ||||||
| 16. | Down (hard on the slope) across, and over the bridge. | ||||||
