OCIN Camp Michaels: Green
mikeminium
| 1. |
Hesitated +00:05 | hesitated at creek crossing. looked deeper than I expected, but no obvious shallower way across it. | |||||
| 2. | contoured across the hill, counted ditches. | ||||||
| 3. |
Bad compass work +00:05 | seemed to be aiming a little too far left, maybe went too directly up the hill instead of angling enough. not far off, and that was still the safer side to aim off, but I was annoyed with myself that I saw the trail before I saw the rock pile & control. | |||||
| 4. | ran the contour. an unmapped bit of stone wall, kind of a terrace along here at the level of the previous control & 2 contours above the destination control made fast running & saw the control below well ahead so I could make a good angle to it without losing speed. | ||||||
| 5. | Can you say gratuitous climb? Straight up the mountain. 19 min/km pace. ugh. I need more hill work. | ||||||
| 6. | counted the ditches, clean attack. | ||||||
| 7. |
Read map too late +00:05 | pretty straight, attacked from the ditch junctions SE of the control. wasn't 100% sure which ditch I was in until I saw the side ditch & knew I had to go left one ditch. I'm calling it "read map too late", a better description would be a brief loss of contact / confusion of parallel features. | |||||
| 8. | clean navigation using the ditches & reentrants. | ||||||
| 9. | read the terrain well, hit it dead on. | ||||||
| 10. | +00:05 | seemed like the control was higher than I expected and I hit it sooner than I expected. I think I underestimated distance, still not sure how I lost more than the 2 contours needed to get on the right level. | |||||
| 11. |
Hesitated +00:05 | unmapped ATV trail threw me off for a second, but I figured it out pretty quickly. | |||||
| 12. | +00:10 | the longest leg of teh course, could have gone a little more directly. need practice & confidence to go down steep hills faster. | |||||
| 13. | +00:05 | contouring, again I ended up low. I thought I was staying close to level & actually needed to lose 1 contour, so how I ended up low is a good question. | |||||
| 14. | +00:05 | down to teh creek, at least one new trail here. lost a few seconds bypassing a deep pool of standing water. | |||||
| 15. |
Underrated difficulty Bad distance judgement +00:08 | splash across the stream. angled a little too much away from the stream and lost a few seconds | |||||
| 16. | good clean run, looked well ahead & kept moving. | ||||||
| 17. | clearing was more overgrown (rough open instead of open) than mapped, but the single tree was obvious & made a great attack point. | ||||||
| 18. | contoured. more small ditches than mapped, but pace count & contouring was dead on. | ||||||
| 19. | another pace & contour leg with slight descent, pace and contours right on traget. | ||||||
| 20. |
Did not read control description +00:05 | a shgort pace and contour leg, pace was right on but I ended up just a hair high. looking for junk pile, but control was in ditch behind it. | |||||
| 21. | pretty clean leg, used stream bend as attack point. | ||||||
| 22. |
Not thinking clearly Hesitated +00:05 | hesitated coming out of the woods into the field. distracted by control visible to the right even though I knew it was in the wrong place. | |||||
| F. |
Tired +00:05 | must have been tired, I should be able to go 300 m a bit faster than that, even at the end of a race. need more speed work. |
