Race Evaluation

Sprint Series Final & US Relay Champs: Sprint B Course 3 (R/B)

1.							So Fredrickson was starting 30 seconds after me, and as I was getting ready, he was yelling something, but I wasn't paying attention. Just as I turned my map over and found the triangle, it registered that he was saying, "Go straight, J-J!". So I did. All the way to the control, even when I couldn't figure out what I was seeing on the map. And a second faster than John — so fine!
2.							Blew past Phil by making good time across the edge of the marsh.
3.							Very slight hesitation in the first few steps.
4.							John passes me.
5.							Not too far behind John.
6.							John still in sight.
7.							My last sighting of John.
8.							Pretty much straight, though I misread the bouncing map and somehow thought I was way off to the left at the bigger knoll. Angled downhill a little, saw the big boulder to my right, and hung a left into the reentrant.
9.
10.							Caught Kathy Bullard on this leg, and noticed that she can really move along pretty fast!
11.							Off a little to the left, stopped at the base of the reentrant, which looked more subtle than I was expecting (i.e. I didn't notice it at first). A little confused because I couldn't find the trail (ride) on the map, but Kathy said, "There it is", and I turned to see it just to my right.
12.
13.							Pursuing some cadets who went the wrong way around the thicket, but I was astute and nailed it.
