Race Evaluation
LGOC Lac Mulvihill, Gatineau Park: Short advanced
boyle
| 1. |
Bad route choice | Took road out of parking lot & made up 1min stagger where Richard & I descended to water course. Richard went on to beat me by 1min. I hoped to round hill on E but hit trail to the W. Doubled back but kept skirting hills & back to trail as catch. Inadvertantly found myself in canyon, N to road to confirm is correct canyon & on to control, what a mess! | |||||
| 2. | E to steep contour, followed to trail. From 2nd bridge over creek up the mtn & messed round seeking. Bert caught me. | ||||||
| 3. | Straightforward long run: E to road, S to jct, NE on road, faint trail N of creek, cross countours at W end of pond, E on TransCanadaTrail, E off end of pond. Again Bert. | ||||||
| 4. | I can't remember but pace data shows that I had trouble. | ||||||
| 5. |
Bad map reading | SW to trail, W, off the curve of trail but wondered repeatedly between trail & pond, even ended up at more eastern pond. Retracing yet again E to trail, picked up runners heading straight there. In hindsight, I spent too much time cliffside of pond. What another mess. | |||||
| 6. |
Bad distance judgement | Instincts took me E to TCT all the way to road but did not continue far enough S along stream. Giant deadfall didn't help seeing control: fallen 40' tree was control. | |||||
| 7. |
Did not like map | Cross stream to trail, then S to parking lot but was confused by mowed grass. Messed around on intersections before parking lot. Straight but exhausting run on road to pond side. | |||||
