Race Evaluation
OOC Kanata Lakes: Long Advanced
boyle
| 1. | long trail run, shooting off intersection | ||||||
| 2. | drifted right 110m | ||||||
| 3. | I have no memory of this leg. | ||||||
| 4. | I expected to learn that I had run right by control 3 w/o punching. With so much confusion coming out of control 3: swimming towards control 4, worried about wearing those same shoes to work tomorrow, four of us missing control 4 no matter which way at it. I even asked Lorna if she remembered seeing me punch last control. I hadn't even caught her by that point. I carried on, decided not to swim the marsh twice more, expecting a MP all the way through the course. Bottom line: I didn't quit and I'm delighted to have results that stand. | ||||||
| 5. | I took the trails then N of marsh, I shot straight W. | ||||||
| 6. | Having faced reality, I didn't punch 3 and I'd be wearing wet shoes to work, I slowed right down and went overland to spike control, a very rare occurance. | ||||||
| 7. | I drifted 90m right but saw both rock piles as catching features. | ||||||
| 8. | Ran to double rockpiles then N through lovely fast open terrain. | ||||||
| 9. | Robbie ran by and I stuck like glue. | ||||||
| 10. | I soon lost Robbie but actually ran my best leg, according to data: S to pasture, then building, W on trail across railroad, SW across pasture to trail flash marking dry crossing of deep, dangerous ditch and picked up the back of another racer just before control. | ||||||
| 11. | I got additional guidance from runner still in my view. | ||||||
| 12. | NNW toward fence line which I tried to follow but terrain got too green. Jumped fence in to pasture until deep stream then back across fence. I crossed stream on rail ties which don't float anyway. There was a crowd of other course runners at control. | ||||||
| 13. | I considered following railroad but remembered I should be intimately familiar with a straight over land...and I was. | ||||||
| 14. | I drifted 50m right. I should have swung left around hill. | ||||||
| 15. | Down the tracks and left later than runner in front of me. | ||||||
| F. | Made the younger racer pass me on final trail leg. |
