Race Evaluation
SLOC Cuivre River: Red
ebuckley
| 1. | Trail to the reentrant just before the control. | ||||||
| 2. | Straight, using the big reentrant to the right as a distant handrail. | ||||||
| 3. | Pretty much just bashed through everything until I hit the river. I didn't think trying to find the trail would help because the green woods weren't too bad. After crossing the river started to lose contact with the map, so I just headed up the next spur knowing I'd be able to figure it out once on top. | ||||||
| 4. | Took the trail route, but actually ran mostly in the woods alongside the trail because it was really muddy. | ||||||
| 5. | Straight. | ||||||
| 6. | Straight. | ||||||
| 7. | +01:30 | Straight, but when I didn't see the rockface along the stream, I turned the wrong way. Saw the powerline and turned back. | |||||
| 8. | Crossed right of the green stuff hoping the hillside would be fast running - it was. Slowed when I hit the "field" because it was all young cedars rather than open. Followed the stream around just to be sure I was in the right spot. | ||||||
| 9. | Up the ridge and then along the trail until almost past the control to cut climb. Spiked the pond, but forgot to check the clue for which side, so I had to run the long way around. | ||||||
| 10. | Straight. Slowed a bit just before entering the circle as the vegetation was different than mapped. | ||||||
| 11. | Followed the vegetation boundary along the top of the ridge. Missed about 20m right coming off the ridge, but spotted it before I got below it. | ||||||
| 12. | Grunt. | ||||||
| F. | Went a bit left to avoid the nasty green. |
