Race Evaluation
DVOA Frontier Festival: Blue - Day 2
graeme
| 1. | +11:30 | Having mapped part of the area in the 1980s, it I decided to handicap myself to make it a fair contest. About 1min/km seemed reasonable. | |||||
| 2. | See someone (probably Mark Voit) approacing 1 as I leave, but decide to try to get away. Hard going in the rocks. | ||||||
| 3. | |||||||
| 4. | |||||||
| 5. | +01:20 | Left, through campgrounds. Not confident for most of the leg, so moving slow. | |||||
| 6. | +01:20 | Right. Through a lot of rocks, climb steep (too far right) then bumble along ridge instead of taking trail. Still not confident. | |||||
| 7. | Compass/pace to circle. Stop, hunt around for a while before seeing flag nearby. Did see any features | ||||||
| 8. | Drop to stream, contour to fence corner and in on bearing. Poor route. | ||||||
| 9. | |||||||
| 10. | Caught by Eric Bone, a reminder that I'm supposed to be running not jogging. | ||||||
| 11. | |||||||
| 12. | |||||||
| 13. | |||||||
| 14. | |||||||
| 15. | I didn't think this boulder was worth mapping before... | ||||||
| 16. | Having decided to swing right to get a good attackpoint, distracted by Eric going straight. Still, Eric seems starcrossed today, so I follow him. No idea on descent of spur, but there are people punching. | ||||||
| 17. | Already did this bit en route to 1... | ||||||
| 18. | Heavy fall trying to keep up with Eric | ||||||
| F. | Another OK run ruined by a huge blunder but this time boosted by company. - I see I had the second best time from 1 to the finish. |
