Race Evaluation
2012 North American Orienteering Championships: Middle - RedX
Niall
| 1. | +07:50 | Near-perfect bearing, found other control, misread map and thought I was halfway to where I actually was, veered off the others who continued seconds later to my control. Oops. | |||||
| 2. | I had found 2 on my way to 1, so that was easy. Still slow though. | ||||||
| 3. | +14:40 | Me and someone else tried to race each other to the control. That trick NEVER works, Rocky. Got lost, finally found the lake and re-attacked. Got it easily. argh. | |||||
| 4. | +08:00 | Took wrong bearing, found the wrong small cliff, walked for too long before deciding I was in the wrong place. But did figure out my location and re-attacked. | |||||
| 5. | Tried to aim for the small lake. Ended up right on the control instead. Lucky mistake. | ||||||
| 6. | I honestly don't remember how I did it... Middle-of-the-pack time, too. | ||||||
| 7. | +04:00 | Went north instead of east. Ended up finding two other controls before I read the map right and went up the ridge to mine. | |||||
| 8. | Good run up along the cliffs, easy peasy. | ||||||
| 9. | Go West! Kept looking for the rise, and headed to the break for the reentrant. | ||||||
| 10. | Quick bearing, off we go. Without counting paces, I felt I was near, looked around, saw it 100m to my left. | ||||||
| 11. | south... south... south... east... bing! | ||||||
| 12. | Quick bearing, go go go, careful on the cliffes, head for the top, and around.. more around... even more around-there it is! | ||||||
| 13. | +02:00 | Up the stream bed, then dry bed, trying to keep a bearing. Got lost when near, nearly found 14, saw people moving as if away from a control. Go back, got it. | |||||
| 14. | Slow up the hill, keep looking, past the clearing.. hey! | ||||||
| 15. | Through clearing, past another control, keep south til the rise, turn right, there it is! | ||||||
| 16. | Back to path and flurry of runners, find one at a cliff.. check map, can only be... this one! down and south, and found it! | ||||||
| 17. | Back to path, follow to clearing, look left. Bang! | ||||||
| 18. | Up, up, but not too far right, make sure not to end up already on the chute and have to backtrack. No, got it perfectly! | ||||||
| F. | ZOOM down the loose rocks! Almost the fastest time. |
