Race Evaluation

CSU Pine Hill: Sprint

1.
2.							Through the flooded trail, then was a tad low approaching the control (visibility not so good right there, and I almost didn't see the cliff.
3.							Dumb. Stayed a bit to the right (north of the small lake) and picked up the indistinct trail near the big lake... but maybe I was really on some other unmapped trail, because I hit the big trail a ways north of where I should have been. Better move would have been to back out of #2 to the south and take the big trails around, rather than fighting through the greenbriar.
4.							Over the top of the bare rock hill, just south of #6.
5.
6.
7.							Around on trails to the east.
8.							Around on trails to the west, which was smart, but miscounted junctions at the end, which was not. Left the trail too early, and saw a couple of other people looking confused. The contours didn't look right to me. Then one of the others spotted the control sort of behind me and to the right. I went to it, and as I was about to punch noticed that it was #9 (the only code I checked in the whole race). Felt stupid, but at least I knew where I was, and went to #8 with no problem.
9.							Better not screw this one up.
10.							Was expecting the control to be on the cliff, so I went to the base of it, wondering why there were peopl eup top. When I saw no flag, I checked the code and saw that it was on the bare rock.
F.							Straight south to hit the trail as early as possible, then NW out to the parking lot. Gained on all of the other people, I think (passed all but one of them).
