Race Evaluation

OOC B-meet: Long Advanced

boyle

1. Knowing the trails but having never seen the new map put me in a bad spot, apparently. I added more than 1000m to the first control running around in circles and had the worst first split.
2. I followed ditch and trail to beaver dam at lake and then made my way on curvy trail but held up too soon. I ended up 150m W of control before getting straight.
3. Got my act together, N to trail hugging lake, then dropped S to parallel trail when closest, then dropped S again to next parallel trail and cross one-way MTB boardwalk
4. drifted right and hit 5 before 4 but SI prevents cheating. met same MTBers going both ways.
5. should have been quick to 5 since I'd already visited
6. Back past 3, then followed trail E until it bent back W and then began overland trail hopping. SA shows error which must only be the time in target circle hopping around re-entrants.
7. I'd seen Kathy all along, at 5, at 6, but I went straight E to beaver dam between ponds, then trail hugging lake and still met Kathy at trail T intersection.
8. Let compass-checking runner in front lead me to trail jct and then to control's hill but he went right on by, for some reason.
9. I stopped for a drink after punching 8. I'd thought it strange to also see water at control 2 but then it took me over 40 minutes to get to that water stop.
10.
11.
12. I'd recognized control from other map that I'd seen seeking my first control. Left trail too early as did many others making for long run through forest.
13. Kathy & other headed for road beyond fence while I experimented with matching their speed in forest. I failed miserably but it was worth a try.
