Race Evaluation
US Night-o Champs: Red
Nadim
| 1. | Around to the left. I didn't see the trail option. My lighting system was new and the first few charges are not to be as full as subsequent ones. The charger showed only 3/4 full at that. | ||||||
| 2. | Down around the greenhouse then across the field. | ||||||
| 3. | Down around the fence and patch of brushy woods, then over to the right. I paused at the reentrant not seeing it at first. Two others were hunting and I went left where one was near to hit it. | ||||||
| 4. | Around to the right. I was hesitant to enter the woods but spiked it using the house to line up. | ||||||
| 5. | +00:10 | Out to the field then down along the edge. I cut in at one point thinking I saw the trail but came out when it wasn't there. I went to the end almost before cutting in and attacking off a trail bend/rock. | |||||
| 6. | Down to the trail, left, then cutting right to the next trail, left again to the trail intersection, then right to the field and right again--not exactly the most efficient... | ||||||
| 7. | +07:30 | Left #6 on a bad bearing. I hit some construction which I assumed to be too new to be on the map--bad decision. Following what was the road in the corner of the map, I ran it to the end expecting it to take me to the trail. The funny thing was that for a while, I was still reading, double and triple checking the compass. It seemed I was on course initially and then realized it was going off. I basically was off the map and hit the river before wandering back to the road then crossing the woods to get to the trail. | |||||
| 8. | Up to the trail, then right, staying on trails to NE of the control. In from there to spike it. Not exactly efficient but it worked. With the time lost on #7, I worried about having enough battery power but all was fine. | ||||||
| 9. | Up to the field and straight there. I saw it at least 50m away. | ||||||
| 10. | +00:20 | I started with a bad bearing but corrected 50m later. I didn't stay on the mowed trail but used it to guide me. I passed a few others before attacking off the trail bend and spiking it. | |||||
| 11. | Up to the trail then right at the intersection. The trail ran out and I cut left only to get buried up to my chest in brush. At one point in the brush, came up to a cement wall and had trouble climbing over it. Once over, I was out of the brush and used trails to go high immediately. I didn't expect to be in the field so soon but was glad as it was fast to the control from there. Just as I got there I was blinded by a flash camera. | ||||||
