Race Evaluation
2001 Billygoat Run:
randy
| 1. | followed the pack with eddie in the lead. took the time to study the map to think about a skip. 5 looks obvious, too obvious, like a setup. 19 looks like only other reasonable candidate. decide on 5 | ||||||
| 2. | |||||||
| 3. | |||||||
| 4. | |||||||
| 5. | |||||||
| 6. | eddie skips 5 so I feel good about my choice. behind eddie in front of joe on trail run. eddie seems to miss a little left so I make up some time but get my compass caught in control, never see eddie again | ||||||
| 7. | |||||||
| 8. |
Disturbed by others +00:15 | think I see gregory go off trail so I get confused | |||||
| 9. | spend too much time drinking see no one the entire leg, which is odd this early. took route over dam then straight, picked up cliffs and pine tree on the way in | ||||||
| 10. | |||||||
| 11. | still alone do not see trail thru green. go right then thru yellow swamp not too bad with the logs. someone (I think joe) yells from behind asking me how the swamp is | ||||||
| 12. | +01:30 | thought about crossing the river but do the trail run. never see any features on the north trail and lose some time. joe and ross and john f and paul g catch me on this error | |||||
| 13. | |||||||
| 14. | |||||||
| 15. | pass joe on the trail run take left fork and off pond. I get there first but everyone else is just a few seconds behind | ||||||
| 16. |
Lacked concentration +00:10 | not paying attention and get below those cliffs on the way losing a coutour. joe passes me for good | |||||
| 17. | right of the lake and marsh on snaky trail. with joe ahead and paul g following. think we lose ross and john f here. realise I'm not going to be able to keep up with joe much longer | ||||||
| 18. | |||||||
| 19. | joe is gone. I cut the corner rather than run the trail. paul g follows. wall - stream - cliff - fingers. see joe once again and for last time as he runs down the hill | ||||||
| 20. | trail then cut thru the swamp at middle point then side of hill with rocks. I think its a good choice, we'll see. paul g follows but I get to flag well ahead | ||||||
| 21. | easy running leg try to blow out of 20 to lose paul. running strong and think I lost him but I start to tire and he gets me near end of leg. Found a nice deer trail for part of the leg | ||||||
| 22. | trail run east of river. see ross come out woods on other side of dam. thought I lost him long ago but he skipped late think of digging to try to catch him but don't have it in me and don't think i can anyway | ||||||
| 23. | see ross at top of cliff as i get there. forget catching him and worry about outrunning paul | ||||||
| F. | trail run as hard as i can at this point and beat paul by 2 sec |
