Race Evaluation
Billygoat / DIY Goat, Mountain Lakes: DIY Goat
cmorse
| 1. | Easy start out to junction, then straight at it carefully checking features to get into map. | ||||||
| 2. | +00:30 | uphill past cliffs to trail, past pond and along ridgeline, swung around cliff/knoll on edge of circle and came in from N - not exactly sure why I did that, but it was the plan so calling it a spike eventhough the roundabout route probably cost 20-30s | |||||
| 3. | more or less straight, slow in the rocky ground | ||||||
| 4. | slow downhill due to rockiness underfoot - toe really painful in here, along lake, then uphill trail to stream, syayed N of stream to road, trail for a bit, then straight over spur/hill | ||||||
| 5. | straight on line, staying above marsh, but runnability good even though I was just jogging. | ||||||
| 6. | N of marsh, combo of walls & contours | ||||||
| 7. | cross stream, then ruined wall to road, uphill on the bend. Slow approaching circle to ensure I was headed for correct knoll, but I was fine in the end | ||||||
| 8. | straight. Not sure either of these knolls cleared the 1m threshold, or maybe I'm just getting taller. | ||||||
| 9. | Over the top - a bit extra climb but the woods were clean. Jeep trail to stonewall, then mostly straight | ||||||
| 10. | straight, checking off contour features enroute. No problem | ||||||
| 11. | slightly S of line to avoid rocky stuff, down spur. | ||||||
| 12. | long leg - around north side of lake, roads to field to mitigate climb. TYhere is an unmapped trail E of spruce lake which thankfully went my way, once across stream worked my way N to road to avoid climbing hill, hopped on trail at road bend for a bit, then headed straight, across pipeline, then picking up trail again to stonewall, then just staying above cliffs | ||||||
| 13. | mostly straight just R of line, got above the cliff in E side of circle, but an easy drop down at gap - no loss | ||||||
| 14. | straight staying S of rocks | ||||||
| 15. | pretty much straight on terrain features (contours), undergrowth a non issue here | ||||||
| 16. | skirting edge of private land, cross pipeline and straight | ||||||
| 17. | S of line, thru N clearing (ropes course) then on bearing | ||||||
| 18. | couldn't clearly make out the mess in the circle - I'm guessing a cliff an three boulders, but not readily discernible at 1:10k, but there was a flag there, so good enough... | ||||||
| F. | stonewall downhill a bit, then basically retraced my steps from leg 12, including the unmapped trail... |
