Race Evaluation
DVOA Training Weekend - Hickory Run: Green
Wyatt
| 1. | +00:40 | Went straight. Apparently up to the trail and along was better as Angelica beat me doing that and I had little trouble on the straight route. | |||||
| 2. | Hit both little depressions on the way in - that area's tough and I didn't want to wander around in there. | ||||||
| 3. | +03:00 | Blew by this one. Was mostly on track then (a) saw Alison, and (b) saw the weak trail, and so I ran really hard until the trail crossed a vague reentrant, except that it was too vague and I went way by it. I was starting to wonder if I'd overshot when Alison said "hey, didn't we pass it?"... :| | |||||
| 4. | To the creek, then along spur next to creek. Despite the fast-bail-to-creek route I couldn't shake Alison - she was doing well. | ||||||
| 5. | Ran up a line of people (esp. Randy) to this one, and had been in this depression the day before too. | ||||||
| 6. | Attacked from trail junc. It's vague in there so the near attack was helpful. | ||||||
| 7. | A bit right, probably passing through saddle, then down re-entrant/depression. | ||||||
| 8. | +00:30 | Around right. Probably would've been okay if I'd started right instead of going mostly straight to the road. Around left taking the trail would've been good too. I wasn't really expecting a route choice needed to be map. Oops. | |||||
| 9. | Straight. Verified I crossed two streams about the right distance apart, then up to wide hilltop, then in. | ||||||
| 10. | +00:10 | Bearing + 2 streams. Drifted R but was aware as I'd checked compass a few times, and swerved back in pretty quickly. | |||||
| 11. | Basically up the spur to the R of line, then looped around where veg. allowed. Hilltop/field wouldn't allow a serious miss, so bearing/simplification was fine. | ||||||
| 12. | Pretty straight. | ||||||
| F. | Had to push a bit as I didn't want Alison beating me in the chute... |
