Race Evaluation
NEOC Gay City: Red
PBricker
| 1. | +02:30 | First control jinx. Went flying by the stone wall I meant to attack from (more like some rocky ground than a stone wall). Then all the way back until I was sure where I was. JJ came out of nowhere heading for the control. | |||||
| 2. | JJ was ahead of me a bit. I missed right (slightly) and he was gone. | ||||||
| 3. | +00:20 | Played it safe and crossed at the trail, then stayed on trail too long as it started south along the swamp. To the boulder on the spur and spiked it from there | |||||
| 4. | +01:15 | Crossed the river south of the open area and hit a cliff SE of the one I wanted. Saw JJ heading for 5. Went N a bit past it and had to come back. | |||||
| 5. | +00:40 | Stayed low and came up between the two big cliffs to the rcky spur. I actually spiked it but didn't see the flag right away which was down low on the othe rside of the spur. Climbed up to the spur 20 meters to get a better view, then saw it almost right where I had been. | |||||
| 6. | Trail to the stone wall, then nailed it. | ||||||
| 7. | Stayed left of the marsh, then past the three boulders, then around the side of the knoll. | ||||||
| 8. | Took trails to SE bend, then S across the stream where it is split widest, then along right side of small creek. Nailed it. | ||||||
| 9. | Coming over the side of the hill I could see the saddle I was aiming for from 150 m away. Love those open woods! | ||||||
| 10. | Crossed at the bridge, then contoured along the hillside keeping the stone wall below in sight. Lead me right to it. | ||||||
| 11. | Reading boulders, with some hesitation, since some bigger ones were mapped as small, and a smaller one (before the control) mapped as big. | ||||||
| 12. | +01:30 | Attacked from the stone wall-marsh junction. Must have been close to it but didn't see it so reattacked from the stone wall-marsh junction just east of it. Flag was lying on the ground between fallen logs. | |||||
| 13. | Trail, then up the wooden steps, through parking lot. Went right to it, though hesitated a bit because it looked from the map like I should be in the rocky ground to the south. | ||||||
| 14. | A bit north of the line, but able to use the stone wall to readjust and spike it. | ||||||
| 15. | Straight. | ||||||
