Race Evaluation

DVOA Mount Penn - Antietam: Blue

1.
2.	P		+00:20	contoured and dropped, but ended up a bit low - was expecting to look ahead and see the flag, but didn't, and my mental picture of the terrain ahead was poor

5.
6.		R	+00:30	Plan was to take upper trail, but I could see the lower one, so ran to it - but indeed, it's indistinctness translated into slow leaf-covered rockiness - vs. the likely faster route above
7.			+01:30	got stuck in green and some rocks going over the ridgeline - likely should've aimed to the yellow on the line, then diagonaled to the road instead of the more diagnonal to the road thing... Also got stuck in some green, missing some of the unmapped trails that helped on the way in. Still surprised to get beat by almost 2 minutes...

11.			+03:00	Took the right route - which ended up through private land that was somewhat aggressively signed, in turned out - had vertical purple slash been used made that route choice would've been clearly out-of-bounds... Got stuck weaving to avoid property signs/owners both getting to the road, getting off the road, and twice on the trail which has substantial Med. & Dark green sections (incl. at the power line..)

17.			+01:00	contoured in, getting pushed a bit low then just totally slowed by Med. green. Likely high to trail (which I aimed to but missed hitting wall-top), then a drop to bag would've been faster
