Event: ROC - Rattlesnake Hill
 

It was a busy day, but I am glad I took the time out to head down to Rattlesnake. I was not completely happy with my physical performance, but I can't complain navigationally. Really only made one poor route choice and executed the others quite well.

#1 - Started up throught the field, then hit the second field and road bend failry close to the line. Followed the edge of the light green around till I found a significant enough re-entrant. Hesitated a bit on the swamy area above the control

#2 - probably my worst execution of the day - dropped too many contours down the hill before getting a good heading. Was able to use the square area of light green to get me back on a good line.

#3 - Good line, but got pushed left by some dark green at the edges of the field. I found the control fairly quickly, so I wont complain about there barely being a feature.

#4 - Similar route required for a leg on the Ultra Long course that I really screwed up - so I was determined to do better. Unfortunately, I got sucked into the green slash below the road and probably lost some time.

#5 - easy line up the creek

#6 - up the creek, along the old hedge row, onto the trail.

#7 - this one could have been bad as I was unsure about my location as I neared the circle. I caught sight of the edge of the clearing just to the NW of the control and was able to complete the leg with no significant losses

#8 - I probably stuck too close to the bottom of the hill leaving #7 rather than taking a direct line but I wanted to hit the water stop

#9 - The Hill

#10 - hooked onto the road/trail rather than taking the more direct line through the tall (and by then very wet) grass.

Thomas Creek - Beginner League - my fist crack at organized hockey. Even though my skating skills are pretty good and I have played some pickup hockey I have never really participated in anything organized. So it was quite an eye-opener. Just knowing where to be on the ice in a particular situation and knowing when to change lines were the biggest challenges. Of course after 2 - 3 minutes shift time I am totally winded and need to change - which fits in nice with what the other guys expect.
