Race Evaluation
WCOC A Meet and Intercollegiates: Red Day 1
cmorse
| 1. | Lot of green ahead on trail, turned map over, saw I was going uphill anyway and cut immediately through break in green at triangle and traversed uphill - straight on line | ||||||
| 2. | +00:20 | straight to trail, then around light green, but got went a little low and got bogged down in green near fence artifact. | |||||
| 3. | straight and clean | ||||||
| 4. | ditto | ||||||
| 5. |
Bad route choice Lacked concentration Hesitated +02:00 | took trail, cutting corners, stopped to tie shoe when crossing stream (30sec) and then looked up and saw bag, but it looked like it was on a substantial knoll, got confused, went north a little, then realized things and went back to bag. Now raining pretty decently, glasses fogging | |||||
| 6. |
Frustrated +00:15 | trail around hill, then up and over white woods and down - a little slower/careful after almost messing up #5. | |||||
| 7. |
Bad map reading Bad compass work Could not relocate Not thinking clearly Lacked concentration Lacked confidence +06:30 | BOOM - can't see map/terrain, try to cut across stream/green early on, somehow wind up heading uphill to NE, nothing matching up, eventually drifting south and matching a few things (what I could see). This blew the whole thing for me - very frustrated | |||||
| 8. | somehow this one was clean - across trail by j cliff, north end of green and straight on in. Slow up hill, but otherwise ok | ||||||
| 9. |
Bad map reading Bad compass work Could not relocate Not thinking clearly Frustrated +04:00 | BOOM2 - couldn't read map well, somehow convinced myself I was looking for a boulder in an E facing reentrant, not a w facing spur. wound up by fence corner due N of #1. Really sucked since I had only run through here20 minutes ago but now that I'm blind, I couldn't see that. Damn... | |||||
| 10. | switch to bearing/pace count (should have done this back around #6 when vision went) Clean, realized I had actually visited this bag while wandering on #7. Slow jog at this point, not a real run - but clean navigation. | ||||||
| 11. | to trail, then cut in once clear of rocky crap, very clean - but like the remainder of the run - slow jog at best... | ||||||
| 12. | pretty much straigt on the line - didn't even opt to trail. | ||||||
| 13. | +00:20 | fence to trail, then down trail - couldn't read map really clearly, wound up below the rocky crap and had to climb back up to cliff - had read clue as lower, so went to the bottom of the black. | |||||
| 14. | trails | ||||||
| F. | up over hill on line. |
