Race Evaluation
Flying Pig IX: U.S. Short Course Championship: Blue
Wyatt
| 1. | +00:35 | Left straight, then dropped too deep intro reentrant and missed low before returning | |||||
| 2. | +00:05 | Dropped a little too far left of line, but it seemed okay, and shooting in along the bottom and tripping over the fence worked okay.. | |||||
| 3. | Up spur, eyes open, some elephant track | ||||||
| 4. | Got a little R of line, but aim off hilltop was easy. | ||||||
| 5. | +00:20 | Waffling between around left or way around right. Chose left upon exit, but road was so nice I waffled back right (after jumping two or three major ditches). Seems like right was best. | |||||
| 6. | +00:10 | Drifted a little left, and hit a bunch of little reentrants. Should've aimed a little right, to come down from the top | |||||
| 7. | +00:05 | Intentionally aimed left of green, but the green wasn't bad. | |||||
| 8. | +00:15 | Followed elephant track instead of compass through powerline and ended up left - could see long spur so cut over | |||||
| 9. | +00:10 | NE, then N up and along ridgeline - quite hestitant through dark green which turned out to be crossable... or maybe I was in the medium green. Should've gone harder, keeping track of compass. | |||||
| 10. | A little right of line, drank a bit at first water (yes, I drink a lot :). Diagonaled down a little late and had to double-check & go straight up (well-mapped) big ditch to bag. | ||||||
| 11. | Pushed NE by vegetation that was a little worse than I thought the map showed. Fought to stay upright and contour high before crossing to bag. | ||||||
| 12. | ESE to cross, then climbed way too much. Not sure why. I guess sidehilling was really slippery and so I went up and over to avoid that. Not worth it. | ||||||
| 13. | Around right near (but didn't see until late) fence. Up right side of reentrant, climbing after a bit. | ||||||
| 14. | A little reentrant following then dead on line. | ||||||
| 15. | +00:10 | SW, Trail, followed clearing then creek through green. Went too high at end and came back down. | |||||
| 16. | Kind of NW, then W, then up creek. Was considering around through finish, but creek was fairly runnable (and I recalled the chute was not...) | ||||||
| F. | As the last starter, I have to say y'all did a great job softening up the chute. Probably 5000 ponds, 3 inches deep about the size of a shoe were in that chute... |
