Race Evaluation
Hill Billy Goat:
francish
| 1. | B - decided BECAD, angled to road, punched with Eric Smith | ||||||
| 2. | E - kept a little right to get spur, punched again with Eric | ||||||
| 3. | +06:00 | C - kept left trying to hit trickles and up to veg boundry - no control, after looping around with Eric (not much made sense) we found it | |||||
| 4. | A - trail, stream, across (Eric stopped to help Mary), (C seemed right relative to trail, so people coming from A had an advantage) | ||||||
| 5. | D - got to right of stream and contoured | ||||||
| 6. | s to trail bend wsw to steep at stream, s to control, Eric and Tim Good catch me here | ||||||
| 7. | e to stream, contour to trail, follow Tim until he cuts off trail early, I go to trail jct aiming for road at stream crossing, Tim is the attack point | ||||||
| 8. | road, trail, contour to control, beat Tim descending from above | ||||||
| 9. | ese to road, punch ahead of Tim | ||||||
| 10. | +40:00 | straight to boundary corner and on to a (wrong) trail at streamer with Tim paralleling me. I set out exploring almost a kilometer of that trail (n and s) until I stumble onto a junction that relocates me about 500m s of control - see many other people equally confused - (should have believed the property corner and continued past trail another 60 or 70m to control) this was the last time I saw anyone on the course | |||||
| 11. | trail around to bend and in | ||||||
| 12. | w to trail, right of shallow hilltop and in | ||||||
| 13. | up road (missing trail I intended to take) to trail n of start | ||||||
| 14. | n, then along veg | ||||||
| 15. | didn't touch the wire | ||||||
| 16. | nne to field corner, struggle with barbed wire, couldn't see yellow across road so I used stream bend s of control | ||||||
| 17. | +07:00 | nnw to first trail jct (would have saved me at least 7 min to proceed to the 2nd) angle to correct reentrant - no bag, check the other reentrants and decide it's just not there, decide to go on and head for correct trail jct, blundering into control w of it | |||||
| 18. | keep right on trail headed e (will hit control or hit field) | ||||||
| 19. | +01:00 | stop for rest and a cliff bar at field corner, decide FGHJI, trails the whole way, wasted a min not following stream | |||||
| 20. | F - road around to trail and similar attack point for 12, use steep falloff as handrail | ||||||
| 21. | G - struggle down straight to it | ||||||
| 22. | H - up and across just to right of it | ||||||
| 23. | +04:00 | J - road pacing from #9 clearing ending up too far s, decide road is too close to stream and backtrack n to control | |||||
| 24. | I - up to steep just left of control | ||||||
| 25. | +04:00 | slow climb and across not recognizing anything until road, hesitant, find big tree and in | |||||
| 26. | +05:00 | tried straight aiming left but hit right (15m), check all the rootstocks for 150m right before turning around | |||||
| 27. | trail, field, trail to veg boundary then n keeping trickle on my left | ||||||
| 28. | straight to trail bend on s fork, to trail kink on n fork and up | ||||||
| F. | up past pit toilet to easy footing. I probably would have done better had I paid more attention to the streamers as attack points but then it wouldn't have been as good as a rogaine tuneup. Thank You. |
