Race Evaluation
: West Point Sprint (Team fundraiser)

| 1. | Halfway to control before I found the start triangle and C1 - luckily earlier starters made it obvious which way to go (often in a flamboyant manner). | ||||||
| 2. | +00:10 | Aimed for gap in green, but got impatient, cut for the open land too early and got tangled briefly, then overran control when I didn't see water until I had passed it. | |||||
| 3. | Climb demonstrated that my legs were indeed worn out from this morning. | ||||||
| 4. | +00:20 | Missed right - bad idea, since that added a couple of contours. | |||||
| 5. | Straight. | ||||||
| 6. | +00:40 | Ran confidently - right to C7 - oops, things come up more quickly on the sprint map. | |||||
| 7. | Hard to blow a 40m leg when you've just been at the control. | ||||||
| 8. | Spotted cliff pretty quickly. | ||||||
| 9. | +00:20 | Left uphill - with the quick set of legs, I did not have an exit plan for this control. | |||||
| 10. | Straight thru the medium green, not noticing the fence on the map, until I saw it - verified it was not mapped uncrossable, hopped it and headed for the gate on the other side (for easier jumping), then noticed it was open a crack. | ||||||
| 11. | +00:05 | Cut down too early - had to go around the bump of water. | |||||
| 12. | Below the first 2 buildings, between the next 2. | ||||||
| 13. | Straight, watching buildings. | ||||||
| 14. | Went right of first building, so had to zig-zag a bit. | ||||||
| 15. | +00:20 | Started left, ran under one of the buildings, but took too much time walking with the map. | |||||
| 16. | +00:10 | Went too far left on the way past the start - shouldn't have, since I had walked that way to/from my car a few times that day. Got the status against Nate's time as I passed the start - sounded like I had him, unless I made a big error. And I had already seen people punch 17&18. | |||||
| 17. | +00:05 | Ended up going right of the bottom building, but knew I had to run off the corner of the huge building. | |||||
| 18. | Straight across. | ||||||
| F. | Nothing left for a big kick. Luckily, Nate did not push me into the water as the crowd was strongly encouraging. |
