Race Evaluation
BOK: Raven Rock, Day 1: Red
TimGood
| 1. | Trail to first bend. Straight along S side of reentrant. | ||||||
| 2. |
Did not like map +04:00 | Down reentrant to stream, down a few more contours planning to contour around, then over the spur and reentrant and straight. Passed to E of reentrant and ended up at next stream. Found control at end. Back to trail and in from the bend checking on the downed trees. Thought control was in much steeper reentrant than mapped. | |||||
| 3. | Straight, up N side of ditch. | ||||||
| 4. | Straight, slightly R at first to follow ditch up from stream, then slightly left to skirt worst of slash. | ||||||
| 5. |
Did not like map +01:00 | W to trail. Hard time getting thru crap near control. Hit trail at jct with reentrant. Along trail to get around next reentrant then straight. Saw ditch 1/2 way then another ditch with no control. Went N to end and to see NE vee ditches before following main ditch SW until I found it. | |||||
| 6. |
Did not follow plan Bad map reading +01:30 | Intended to go up to ride then out spur. NW to get to high ground but never found the ride. Got to far left and came down wrong spur at small stream between the cliffs. Stayed low around first set of cliffs then straight over the spur. | |||||
| 7. | W down hill, cross stream then trail to bend. Planned to go straight but better running on R so hit reentrant well E of control. Crossed reentrant and came in on N side. | ||||||
| 8. | +00:30 | Straight, but drifted S. When the distance was right but no bag, ran uphill to find it. | |||||
| 9. | +00:20 | Aimed for stream at hill corner near the cliffs. Got a little E, cut across flat area to trail. Along trail past small streams. Intended to follow 2nd stream up but after starting decided it was to green and returned to trail. Another 100m then uphil thru white woods (on map anyway) to trail. Bearing from trail bend. No idea where I was, entire area was slash. Getting worried and thinking about relocating on far side when I hit it dead on. Very slow in the green. | |||||
| 10. | Out to trail/boundary. Took that SE until the stream crossing then over to other trail. At bend continued straight to stream and crossed near jct with stream from E. Up spur at an angle. | ||||||
| 11. | Dog leg back to steam. Good running along E side to trail. Trail to bend, then straight. | ||||||
| 12. | SE as fast I could manage. R of straight to get the flatter area and hit the veg corner. Area much greener than mapped. Hit boundary trail at first corner, followed to 2nd then angle to chimney. | ||||||
| 13. | Ran in general direction of finish. When building on L, looked for place to cut through green. Came out accross from final turn to finish. Down road to control. | ||||||
| F. | Sprint in. |
