Race Evaluation
Ran-it Granite: Green X Day 1
Charlie
| 1. | +00:15 | A little trouble reading the map, but E along trail to powerline, then angling down to stream to vicinity of the control, then stoped and squinting a bit to try to read what the feature was in the circle. Right there, though. | |||||
| 2. | Followed stream and angled up the spur, could see the reentrant the gully was in from a distance. | ||||||
| 3. | Straight, passing by rock in the stream before the control, and reading contours well. Rob Wilkison up ahead. | ||||||
| 4. | +03:00 | Up and over, drifting a bit right across to powerline, then down the wrong spur. Ahead of Rob, and a few others on various spurs in the area. Got confused by an unmapped rock, and ended up going all the way down before finding the right spur and the bag. | |||||
| 5. | Trail across first spur and onto second one, then contoured and climbed. Clare Durand off in front a bit. Nysse came screaming in from the top on the Blue Course as I arrived. | ||||||
| 6. | +01:00 | Up and over and down the spur. I think Clare was further left. Going fine the whole way, but just too tentative after blowing #4. Spiked it, but way too slow. | |||||
| 7. | Straight, checking off the rootstocks. | ||||||
| 8. | Pretty straight. Crossed stream on trail then angled up to stream jct. | ||||||
| 9. | +00:15 | Stream low and past bottom of control then hooking up. | |||||
| 10. | Low to scrub off some climb, past #6and across stream to flatter ground, approaching from S. | ||||||
| 11. | Straight. | ||||||
| 12. | +01:00 | Had the illusion that this was a reentrant instead of a hill, and really tentative going there, checking and re-checking the map. | |||||
| 13. | Tired, but easy | ||||||
