Event: 2013 IS IC Championships
 

warm up and cool down

The course was very fast however i had 3:30 minutes worth of errors. For the frist a meet ever i messed up the first control which was a bit of a dissapointment. Crossing the feild directly before the first control i hugged the vegitation on my left closer to the road rather then the vegatation on my right. This put me roughly 100 meter too close to the road. I reacted to this when i could see the road but did not think i had messed up. When i got to the creek i relized what happeted off toward 1 and hit it right on. On control 3 i was contoring around the spur. Reading the map i thought the control was lower in the rentrant then it was and i found another control where i though mine was and punched it. Then i read its number realized i was wrong on the map and i ran up the rentrant. From stressing out about control 3 i misstakingly checked if a contorl was mine on control 4. I knew it was not but i was not trusing myself. Then on control 11 i was coming down a rentrant and was not reading the map closly enough. I thought the control directly below the rentrant would be mine however it wasnot. Then trying to correct myself i headed a little east because the control was a little bit up from the creek. I found another control however it was not mine. I know read the map closly as i should of coming down the rentrant. I realized i was too far north on the creek and i headed south and found the control on the third try. Overall this course went really well. I thought i did an excellent job entering an leaving controls. My best control was control 9 which i hit perfectly. I think this was the moist navigationly difficult control of the day.
