Race Evaluation
Boulder Dash: Green Day 2
PBricker
| 1. | End of the stone wall, and then right to it. Nice to have an easy first leg to get into the map. | ||||||
| 2. | I intentionally cut in a bit early, and it was right there; so I can see how some others went too far on the trail. Remember how the pit from yesterday was closer to the E-W trail then mapped? I think the map's a bit off here. | ||||||
| 3. | The little cliff just before the circle and right of line led me right to it. | ||||||
| 4. | Aimed off a bit left of line, then up the trail attacking just past the reentrant right of line. Easy from there. Glen came from other side as I was punching. | ||||||
| 5. | +03:00 | With Glen on this leg, we tried to go straight but both missed it (mutual distraction?). Baled to the trail, and climbed back up to it. | |||||
| 6. | +05:00 | Attacked from the trail just past the first marsh (I thought), headed due S (I thought), but when I got to the area, I couldn't find it. After a minute of looking, I did what I had promised myself I would (after yesterday): relocate on something obvious and try again. (I also worried maybe I had attacked from the wrong place - after the second marsh?) When I got to the trail I saw Jeff S.and ended up with him at the trail jucntion well W of the control. We took the trail S to the two boulders and then in. | |||||
| 7. | +01:00 | Was pretty far left of line, which caused me to stop short and spend some time motionless, reading the map. | |||||
| 8. | Tried to go a bit left of the dark green, but it was very thick everywhere. But succeeded in executing plan of following the index contour (top of hillside) right to it. | ||||||
| 9. | Went pretty straight from the trail junction, and spiked it. (Dark green, on this map, is often no slower than light green.) | ||||||
| 10. | Basically straight. Saw Gail after crossing the last trail N of the marsh. She was going to a pit just S of our line. As i got near, I saw the spur opening up, and spiked it. | ||||||
| 11. | +00:30 | Probably dead on line, but didn't have my bathing suit on, so I went S a bit to cross and came out at the ruined stone wall. (Stupid to go around; I still went in over my ankles.) | |||||
| 12. | Pretty straight, thick the whole way, but going around wouldn't have been any faster. | ||||||
| F. | Not sure why this split is so slow. |
