Race Evaluation
QOC Clopper Lake: Blue
cmpbllv
| 1. | Wanted to cross right away, but wasn't ready to get my feet that wet. Should have just crossed - but at least avoided the fence. | ||||||
| 2. | Knew I was cutting in a bit to the left. This one was deliberate. | ||||||
| 3. | D | +02:00 | Another miss in the transition from rough to precision nav, and that after coming off a known point (top of erosion gully)...angles and compass was all wonky starting here. | ||||
| 4. | |||||||
| 5. | P | Begins a series of controls moving effectively on the line | |||||
| 6. | P | ||||||
| 7. | P | ||||||
| 8. | P | Low approach allowed me to count my way in...another runner I saw was wondering how I could tell them all apart. | |||||
| 9. | P | Hill in a ditch. Felt like Flying Pig. | |||||
| 10. | P | +01:00 | Didn't read the vegetation well here on the final approach, went too far left before seeing a control out on the rocks (19) and understanding where I was. | ||||
| 11. | D | P | +01:00 | Difficulty with direction on the way out, less than optimal 2 sides of a triangle. Trouble shifting gears again on the final approach...saw the rootstocks, but didn't understand they were the onesI wanted. They seemed to far from the line of ditches I was running in, and there was a 3rd really big one that wasn't mapped. A bit confused here. | |||
| 12. | |||||||
| 13. | D | +00:20 | Bad angle again, had to force myself to go the right way by looking at the powerlines, and then ended up taking a less than ideal route. | ||||
| 14. | D | +00:45 | Beautiful running, had just started to accelerate when I realized I was going the wrong direction. 90 degree parallel error. | ||||
| 15. | D | R | +01:00 | Another fight to go the right direction. And then apparently my route was not as fast as I thought it would be. | |||
| 16. | |||||||
| 17. | |||||||
| 18. | D | P | +00:30 | Stayed on the road and crossed the bridge on the wrong side of the water...think I had mentally transferred myself to the dashed line road at 90 degrees to the pavement. Another mental struggle to right myself. | |||
| 19. | D | +00:30 | Let myself get pulled left by the crowd and thinking I was one ditch to the right. I was on target, just misread the ditch. | ||||
| 20. | P | But successfully dropped the crowd here with a good read and cutting off the trail by the knolls just past the swamp. | |||||
| 21. | D | +00:30 | Momentarily stupified that the control was not on the rootstock nearest the rocky ground...mapped as a cup depression, think that might be a mapping mistake? | ||||
| F. | Where the heck is the finish? And why is this my fastest split when I was so brain-dead? |
