Race Evaluation
West Point Day 1: blue
wilsmith
| 1. | Trail/paved road - no way anyone should go straight in West Point on an unmapped hill... | ||||||
| 2. | +00:10 | Missed a little left | |||||
| 3. | +00:30 | Contoured - hesitant until reached large cliff | |||||
| 4. | Straight on - pretty foggy... | ||||||
| 5. | Chickened out and took the trail left, but thought re-entrant to right was probably faster, though a little more risky with the fog. But I was feeling super-slow in the woods so needed a break on the roads. Saw Eddie coming out on my way in - though he was maybe unnecessarily staying in the woods too long? | ||||||
| 6. | +00:30 | Directly north out to road; missed in the circle to the left, maybe 30 seconds | |||||
| 7. | Straight, easy | ||||||
| 8. | +00:10 | Climbed the hill on the trail - maybe a little excessive climb | |||||
| 9. | +01:00 | Went straight in dense fog - very hesitant. Probably should have gone left and run harder instead | |||||
| 10. | +01:30 | Slow down to the trail, VERY foggy, visibility <50m even in the field. Lost >1:00 because control was NOT on a 5m cliff as described (though there is one in the center of the circle); instead it was on a 1.5m cliff more south of the larger cliff - sort of an extension. If you came from above or from right you would see it, but not from the left as I did... | |||||
| 11. | +00:45 | Contoured, quite hesitant, slow. Very steep, fell twice. Saw red control on spring on way in which helped | |||||
| 12. | +00:15 | Down to "plateau" then over to trail bend. Description says boulder but mapped feature looks like triangle (boulder cluster); control seemed pretty high | |||||
| 13. | Easy - contoured around left. Feeling VERY tired | ||||||
| 14. | Wow, this leg looked easy but I was bagged and it seemed to take forever. | ||||||
| 15. | +00:40 | Missed 30-45 seconds trying to be cute - tran too far SW along road and had to climb more and circle back to control - oops! | |||||
