Race Evaluation

OOC Rivière la Pêche, Gatineau Park: Short advanced

1.	Underrated difficulty	My time is not valid as I did not punch #8. I followed pasture to #1. The pasture was full overgrowth such as 4' raspberries. Slow going.
2.	Underrated difficulty	continued across pasture but shot too far north, down through ravine and into 2nd & 3rd pasture lands
3.		I had the fastest leg 3 of all racers. My time is not valid as I did not punch #8.
4.		went straight S to trail & over to clearing where went straight SW
5.		went around hill but took a while to sight pond
6.		straight as I could N to trail, followed runner past forest line about 20m on trail before tracking back to control
7.	Ran too fast	on trail fast to stream due N of control but neared START too soon. backed around along contours but was overwhelmed w/ confusion of cliffs & rocks. This control did me in.
8.	Confused parallel features	I did NOT find this control. Another runner left 7 toward trail while I attempted over the hill tops. He found control. I did not. Again overwhelmed by cliffs & rocks. Windstorm uprooting mature tress helped convince me to carry on with my training workout.
9.	Followed others	Mistakenly followed many others to a control not shared between short & long courses.
F.		Interestingly, the unattended FINISH was off in a pasture, no where near the parking area.
