Race Evaluation
Boulder Dash: Blue day 1

| 1. | Running early, with a cell phone so that I could call in to report and problems with damaged controls or whatever. Attacked from the boulders south of the control. | ||||||
| 2. | +02:00 | Lost contact, wound up 100 m or so SW of control, but figured it out when I went uphill. | |||||
| 3. | +02:00 | Got a little bit stupid once I got on top of the hill, and wandered around. | |||||
| 4. | +01:00 | Kinda dumb route, too far to the left. | |||||
| 5. | +00:30 | Sheesh, I even screwed this up! Ernst Linder (on Red) catches me. | |||||
| 6. | +01:30 | Got to the circle okay, then checked behind every little bump. | |||||
| 7. | +02:00 | Contoured on the right of the line, then blew the attack from the trail bend w/wall and bounced back out to the trail. Ernst shows up again and screws it up as well. | |||||
| 8. | Did this one okay! | ||||||
| 9. | This one too! | ||||||
| 10. | +02:00 | I know this area... sort of, but it didn't help. Thought I'd recognize the dented knoll just NE of the circle (WC'92 control location), but I wound up too far to the SW and had to come back. | |||||
| 11. | +01:30 | Went by the WC'92 control that I had manned, but then got too far north, near skinny lake, and fishhooked around. | |||||
| 12. | +15:00 | Hooooo boy! Decided to just blast through the complicated stuff to Mymeeba Pond, and attack from the tip. But my brain wandered away, and I wound up at the next pond south, trying to make the map fit. When I figured out what I had done, I felt like big tractor beams were trying to keep me from getting back to where I needed to be. | |||||
| 13. | +04:00 | Talk about inattention! This route wasn't so bad... except that it went just south of Incredible Pond! | |||||
| 14. | Not bad, I think... though I really can't recall this leg. | ||||||
| 15. | Took the shortcut by the lake, through the #^$&* knee-breaking beaver stumps. | ||||||
| 16. | +00:30 | Pretty much straight... and I got a phone call from the meet director asking where the heck I was. (And this rattled my concentration.) | |||||
| 17. | +00:15 | Phone rings again... connection is really bad. Drift too far left. | |||||
