Race Evaluation
WCOC HVO Winter Series 2023: WS#7 Bigelow Hollow Green
cmorse
| 1. | +00:25 | A bit R of line keeping big marsh to R, cross trail, stream, marshy bit the up along SE side of marshy area. Flag down, spent 20-30s rehanging it | |||||
| 2. | Due N through rocks, up the broad reentrant | ||||||
| 3. | +01:30 | Got off a bit R choosing best marsh crossing then threading the laurel, ended up S of circle investigating southern reentrant before correcting | |||||
| 4. | Original plan to stay low of rocky, steeper slope to stream, then trail, but runnability was better above than below the steep part, so up I went. Crossed stream where it left marsh, picked up trail at top of slope. Trail to junction, then up the spur staying W of ridge line, slow picking the cleanest line in junky woods, but spiked it. | ||||||
| 5. | woods looked best to stay on the line and drop off the little hilltop - so pretty much straight | ||||||
| 6. | straight, skirting the darker green. Was low on this when vetting, stayed above the green this time and control quite visible. Only streamer in snow last time. | ||||||
| 7. | +00:30 | Just L of line, cross trail at with narrow marsh. Up the spur to avoid blowdowns on the slope, got too high and overshot depression by 20m or so before coming down into it. | |||||
| 8. | Pretty straight, tired legs up and over spur into reentrant - broader than it appears on map. | ||||||
| 9. | down to main trail, opted to run that around, then up over hill once past the marshes | ||||||
| F. | And out. |
