Race Evaluation

NEOC Lincoln Woods: Red

1.		Straight through.
2.		Not sure what was what when I hit the picnic grounds, but the cliff was big enough that you couldn't miss it.

6.	+04:00	Doh! What an easy leg, and what a moron I was! Headed out going SW, failed to read contours, failed to recognize what I was looking at when I could see the big peninsula sticking into the lake out ahead of me, failed to figure out where I was. Eventually drifted northwards until I could see the road, and didn't want to believe I was where I clearly was, because I thought I had gone much farther than that. Finally faced reality and went to the control with no further problems.

13.	+01:00	This control had my name on it. Literally. I was on my way to spiking it, and was close enough that I should have been able to see it, but then I got confused by the small hill just outside the circle to the south, which for some reason I couldn't find on the map. Circled it, then figured it out and went to the control.
14.		Slight hesitation because the control was obscured by a stone flake.

16.	+01:30	180! Took off to the north, saying to myself, "Huh? Wha?", for maybe as much as 100 m before I turned around.

19.		Drifted low, hit the quarry, had to turn right.
F.		I had told Stephen Koehler that I'd be back in an hour, and I just made it!
