Race Evaluation
WCOC Sessions Woods: Red

| 1. | First a disclaimer - I would have been at least 10 minutes slower if I actually had to read the map. | ||||||
| 2. | |||||||
| 3. | +01:30 | Cut off trail at the lone pine tree and headed more or less straight. Kind of knew I was a bit high and left, but when I saw a veg boundary on my left had to go up and check it. Of course it was the wrong one, so had to run back down hill to the right one. | |||||
| 4. | Over the hill and past the mini-clearing with the big oak, across the wall, then stop for a second to scan and saw the bag. | ||||||
| 5. | Pretty much straight, but forced myself to stay high, which I think is faster than getting down lower closer to the pond. | ||||||
| 6. | |||||||
| 7. | +01:00 | Drifted a little left and went for wrong copse of hemlocks. | |||||
| 8. | SSE to main trail, then cut off at hill and across stream, through laurel patches pretty straight. | ||||||
| 9. | S to tower trail, and around to right to main trail, left turn to pick up trail headed S, then jumped off when I could see hill by the stream and looked for rocks to hop across. Up to trail below cliffs, then up hill below cliffs to left side of rocky knob on trail. Trail right to bend where I could see the flag from the trail. | ||||||
| 10. | +00:15 | Below first big cliff, but then climbed too soon and had to do an extra line and off to the right. Should have waited and climbed just before the cliff. | |||||
| 11. | S to trail then around to big rocks and down in. | ||||||
| 12. | Back up to trail and trail all the way to pair of boulders. | ||||||
| 13. | Cross stream, to main trail, up reentrant to smaller trail, across big trail to skidder tracks and in. | ||||||
| 14. | Uphill through laurel. Pretty slow, and I was very tired by now. | ||||||
| 15. | Straight. Could see edge of depression from where I crossed the trail. | ||||||
| F. | A little hung up in the thick stuff. |
