Race Evaluation
CNYO/EMPO Halloween Howl Day 2: Red
dlevine
| 1. | Up the hill and in trying to concentrate on the 1:15000 scale after several runs at 1:10000. | ||||||
| 2. | Trail up hill and along ridge top. VIsibility was good enough to consider remembering this strategy. Can easily look down and see controls if they are near the top. | ||||||
| 3. | Ran low by edge of swamp to check out water levels. Attacked off woodsy hill and went up and in. | ||||||
| 4. | Footing was bad and I lost my pace. Mistook cliff northwest of control for one northeast. Saw Rick Worner coming in and realized my mistake. | ||||||
| 5. | Went straight, but should have hugged the swamp more to avoid the ravine with the cliff. | ||||||
| 6. | Straight in. Acquired two cadets. | ||||||
| 7. | Bounced off road into field, but botched the attack. | ||||||
| 8. | Got to building in time to see cadets go down the reentrant to the east. Saw a bunch of folks leaving the control. | ||||||
| 9. | Through field and up hill and then all the way around on the trail to the west of the swamp. After my "scouting" on the way to #3, I didn;t want to go straight. (I still think this is a winning move.) | ||||||
| 10. | Across road, up and in. | ||||||
| 11. | BRAIN CRAMP. Was too high and crossed the deep stream to the southwest. AfterI realized that one is supposed to stop at the catching feature, I was able to slowly recover. Punched just ahead of Brad Whitmore and Rick Worner. | ||||||
| 12. | BRAIN CRAMP CONTINUES. Followed Brad to road, but chose to go straight in while he went west. After a bit, Charlie Leonard, Rick and I were looking, but Brad was gone. Like a fool, I went east (if Brad was west and no longer around, then....) and was left behind by everyone. Eventually stumbled across it while starting a major recovery effort. | ||||||
| 13. | Straight to it while nearly killing myself on the rocks above the trail. | ||||||
| 14. | Took trail north and then west up(!) through cliffs. Got on wrong spur (I knew it, but couldn't see a cliff on the other) and blew time in the vicinity. | ||||||
| 15. | Fine. Gee, I'm okay at distnaces of less than 150 meters... | ||||||
| 16. | No problems. Did look down and think that it was nice to see a search and rescue team out for some practice. Of course, now I know what it really was... | ||||||
| 17. | Took a really bade line (straight) and paid a time penalty. | ||||||
| 18. | Trail to first opening and then up and follow the stone wall. | ||||||
| 19. | Straight, staying above the swamp. | ||||||
| 20. | Down, wondering if it's even worth running at this point. | ||||||
| 21. | Straight. | ||||||
| F. | In, as some girl says, "Congratulations, you've got last place; you're the last finisher." |
