Race Evaluation
Possum Trot Weekend: Sprint
ebuckley
| 1. | Up the walkway, which was somewhat icy, but still faster than the grass. Angled off near the top of the hill and straight into the control. | ||||||
| 2. | Road to the stairs E of the building. | ||||||
| 3. | Straight. Might be a bogus split, because the next leg didn't take anything like a minute. | ||||||
| 4. | Around the W side of the building. Probably more like a 40-second leg. | ||||||
| 5. | Took the walkway between the buildings and down the stairs. | ||||||
| 6. | Took the high route on the road to the North, which Spike thinks is best. Made sure I got under the canopy right away so I wouldn't get trapped. Quite a few people neglected to do this and had to go through the tunnel and then up the stairs to the control. | ||||||
| 7. | Down the stairs between the buildings. | ||||||
| 8. | Through the alley; only viable route as far as I can tell. | ||||||
| 9. | Through the alley to the west. | ||||||
| 10. | N of the uncrossable green. | ||||||
| 11. | N of the building. Super icy approaching the control; even with spikes I had to run really slow. | ||||||
| 12. | S of the building then through the crossing point. Just N of the three green blobs and around the S side of the fence. | ||||||
| 13. | Stayed above the wall. | ||||||
| 14. | Straight - S of the dark green. | ||||||
| 15. | +00:15 | E of the green exiting the control and then NW, using the stairs running along side the small building SE of the main building. Went up the wrong staircase; recovered quickly. | |||||
| 16. | Took the walkway NE to the road, then around the E side of the building. | ||||||
| 17. | +00:30 | Terrible - only really bad leg of the run. Meant to run redline, which is not as good as taking the road, but not terrible, either. Left the control between the buildings and started heading straight W. Stopped when I realized my direction wasn't right, but rather than simply taking the road (I was almost to the first road by this point), I turned down into the field and then went all the way around the monument to cut out the extra climb. So, I ended up going more distance than the road on a slower surface with slightly more climb. Great stuff. | |||||
| 18. | +00:05 | N of the lake so I could run on the walkway. Slightly overran the control. | |||||
| 19. | Straight. | ||||||
| 20. | Straight to the little path. Getting tired. | ||||||
| 21. | Back S on the path then through the high parking lot and around the S side of the stadium. | ||||||
| 22. | Took the walkwayto the intersection NE of the control then around the W side of the light green (which I would have mapped as dark green, but you could see it from a long way off, so it didn't matter). | ||||||
| F. | Straight in, didn't have much left in the legs for a sprint. |
