Race Evaluation

SVO Rocky Ridge: Red

ErikEddy

1. P D P R 3 A little trouble seeing the lines on the map, had to concentrate extra. Ran west down the road while reading the map and came down the reentrant recognizing the steep slope/cliffs 100 N of bag. Tentative start but looks like I did okay to field.
2. P D P R 2 +00:15Contoured around, using rock outcrop as a guide. A little too tentative closer to the control. Good route, but could have ran faster. Also, did not see the ditch on map when running, which was confusing in the field.
3. P D P R 3 I think some extra unmapped buildings in the parking lot, causing some hesitation. Took trail from parking lot to trail bend and pace count/compass in. I think a good route and execution. Although I was pretty slow....?
4. 4 +15:00Didn't know what route to take so I didn't plan one. Got confused in the trail network and was looking in an area that looked like a reentrant, but in the back of my mind I knew I was way too west. **Looking at RG appears I was on some parralel mtb trails which led to teh confusing. Took long bail to parking lot, compassed to reentrant, recognizing the east boulder, but was a little low in my approach until I reread the contours. Not good!
5. 2 +00:30Took a water break here before punching. Wanted to go straight for it, but drifting a little south hitting the trail, and then a little slow near the circle going almost to the field. Slow rebound from #4.
6. P D P R 2 Thought the field might be slow going so ran up the hill, over the field via trail, contoured from terrace.
7. P D P R 4 +00:30Conservative the rest of the way after 4, plus with the snow, decided to take trails. SE via footpath to jeeptrail, east to trail to east of control, read the bend in trail nicely. Lost some time on the jeep trail with my map folded/looking ahead, got confused and broke pace. I think it was a good route considering conditions
8. P D P R 3 +00:20Fell down in deep snow here. Trail was the obvious route. Cut the corner at one point, and attacked in off trail bend/steepness. Started to feel it, took a gel.
9. P D P R 3 +02:23Tried to go straight following the cliffs, but missed my spot on the footpath (looking for reentrant). Bailed to jeeppath and came in at terrace. Not clear enough of a plan. Worse than I though according to SA.
10. P D P R 3 Looks like control might have been slightly off via RG. My line was good and luckily saw it from a distance. To trail, S to trail bend, to cliffs S of bag, to bag. Must have been moving slow...
11. P D P R 2 My pace count was a little short but I found it. Attacked from boulder on trail.
12. P D P R +00:15Read the note on the brown control. Punched it just in case, and ran to the bag.
F. P D P R Tired.
