Race Evaluation
CSU Peters Hill: Advanced
cmorse
| 1. | +00:10 | right of vegetation & up slope - first one out and punches taped to stakes - about 10 seconds to rip this one off | |||||
| 2. | +00:30 | drop to road, then along forest edge which seemed green where mapped white, was hoping to see obvious large cliffs but difficult to see through vegetation, thus hard to pick where to cut in. Slowed up considerably to make sure, then saw flag, climbed up to punch. Took about 20+ seconds to get this punch loose. | |||||
| 3. | +00:15 | trail and around marsh - no other real route. Fought and lost trying to rip punch loose - gave up and punched all remaining flags by leaving punch on stake and sliding map up from ground | |||||
| 4. | +00:10 | momentary hesitation crossing knoll and seeing road, wasn't expecting to cross major street even though it was obvious on map. Also hesitated to find a convenient place to climb wall (not shown) on N side of road | |||||
| 5. | +00:15 | straight, got a little high and came down to it. a little slow on the approach as there seemed to be more mappable rock than shown | |||||
| 6. | +00:40 | misread line of cliffs as a path and indeed there was a path in there, which lead me too high over near larger cliff and looking down at stream, backtracked, then downclimbed to get to flag. Rock definitely not mapped accurately in this area | |||||
| 7. | +00:20 | contoured around S edge of open area to avoid a few lines climb, I suspect I should have just gone over. Hesitant after #6 as there seems to be more mappable rock in here. | |||||
| 8. | +00:15 | butt slide down between cliffs - saw M. Commons in here somewhere. got to center of circle but stopped and rechecked as flag was tucked just out of view - description did not indicate which cliff or position so a little hunting to find it. | |||||
| 9. | +00:45 | dropped to road expecting to be able to attack on bare rock & cliff - but there was a lot of vegetation along the road which made visibility impossible. Wound up climbing at the right place, but overshot the control not being able to make out the correct knolls in the vegetation. Probably would have been real obvious if I had run straight instead but the control was so close to road that it seemed the easiest way to go. | |||||
| 10. | missed split - but pretty straight and accurate | ||||||
| 11. | +00:15 | dropped straighter to road than anticipated, but found a gap in the green and then ran trail through quarry to boulder - worker in quarry gave me an odd look on my way through | |||||
| 12. | around through open, then contouring with slight climb then into green on about the index contour - very pronounced reentrant confirmed I was at right height so blasted right through and spiked it upon emerging - that green swath is really only green on the edges - at least in the area I ran through it - the inside in the reentrant is quite open | ||||||
| 13. | spike | ||||||
| 14. | +00:10 | misread trails/road (mentally tuned out the lower trail) and through I was on the lower trail looking for knoll to my right, got the right spot and seeing no knoll, looked left instead to see knoll/flag below me - only a momentary hesitation though | |||||
| 15. | big trail to little trail - | ||||||
| 16. | spike | ||||||
| F. | +01:20 | I'm adding some additional lost time here for the stooping down and sliding the map into the ground level punch since they were almost all still taped to the poles. |
