Race Evaluation
WCOC Five Ponds meet: Red
dness
| 1. | Ran trail to junction, then west | ||||||
| 2. | nnw to big trail, then eventually trail through green to big marsh. Took the shorter trail around, which involved a rocky slow descent. Was uncertain which way to go once I got to the bottom. Lost time here. | ||||||
| 3. | Avoided the rocky climb, taking the trail to the north, leaving it at the NE corner of the marsh. | ||||||
| 4. | Trail, into woods after rocky knoll | ||||||
| 5. | S on trail, cutting across nose (over an orange control), Then cutting the next corner a little. E from junction, reaching N edge of circle, stopping & seeing top part of control to my right. | ||||||
| 6. | straight, more or less | ||||||
| 7. | ugh. Kinda straight, going up after cliff and expecting to see the control. Wandered a bit. In hindsight, expected outcome of a poor plan. | ||||||
| 8. | mostly straight | ||||||
| 9. | crossed big reentrant as soon as I could, then a straight shot. Green wasn't bad. | ||||||
| 10. | |||||||
| 11. | SE to road, then on a bearing after the scrubby stuff after the junction. Met Phil coming from the other direction. | ||||||
| 12. | mostly straight, leaving the trail at the big reentrant before the trail turned S. | ||||||
| 13. | Pretty much straight. Hit the pond to the W of the line and corrected, coming up the green reentrant and spotting the control after I crested. | ||||||
| 14. | yuck. Was diverted by green. Hit what I thought at the time was the marsh to the SW of #13, but in hindsight was too small & the wrong shape. Probably hit it later. In my confusion, wandered around a pond E of the control. Didn't have a good relocation plan. Lucky to find the control. | ||||||
| 15. | N along ridge to marsh, around & up to control. | ||||||
| 16. | Run, run, run! | ||||||
| 17. | nnw, keeping wall in sight. slow up the other side of the big reentrant | ||||||
| 18. | |||||||
| F. | nw to avoid a little climb. after passing little pond, cut w and picked up trail. Early on, a nerve in my butt caused me pain -- limped in. |
