Race Evaluation

Beaver Brook Association: Red

1.		Nice to have this swell new map. My first orienteering course was here in December 1978 (on a significantly worse map!)
2.
3.
4.
5.		Never found the trail, I guess I was too high, and hit the road at the end of the marsh. Took the jeep trail to the bridge.
6.
7.
8.
9.		Great boulders! Like movie props, only a few inches thick! I loved this control.
10.
11.
12.		Got nervous and turned left, worried I might have missed the control, but then saw the pond down below me and got back on line.
13.
14.	+08:00	Drifted much too far to the right, and wound up slightly east of #15. Should have been easy from there, and I hit my attck point on the edge of the circle, but then thrashed around for a long time trying to figure out which contour wiggle was which.
15.
16.		Diagonal down to trail, then attacked from the wiggle just above the control number.
17.	+05:30	Somehow did something very weird leaving this control, and completely failed to read the map, eventually winding up at the house 400 m south of #16. Then straight east to the trail, and everything was fine from that point on.
18.		Diagonally to the trail along the lake, then up the side trail and up the reentrant.
19.		Straight.
20.		Straight.
F.		Got to the finish and... didn't have my punchcard! Went back to look for it, and encountered Dean, who had picked it up at the last control.
