Race Evaluation

Mount Royal Orienteering: Long advanced

1.		Reviewing the map the next day, I realise that I nearly ran through a red no-go zone. There's just too much to read on a map at race pace.
2.		With so many trails, it took too long to find root.
3.		There were no control punches, pencil in the single-letter code from the survey tape on to our control cards. I used a pen and carried the pencil, expecting a downpour of rain and/or sweat.
4.	+01:30	I twice abandoned search for fallen tree returning to open field to check bearings.
5.
6.	+06:30	This leg wrecked my final result . It should have been a straightforward and short leg. I journeyed a 360 round the two giant towers, losing bearings. I recall blowing the same area of the map years ago. The sun was not yet out so I brought out the compass and placed it on the map for the rest of the event - something I haven't done in ages.
7.		Going W to #7, I saw Simon heading towards me which didn't make sense. However, if he beats me by 43 minutes, I can't question his route choices.

13.		While enjoyed finally orienteering in Mount Royal cemetery, delicately crashing at funeral service at the control was a challenge.

15.		What is the middle initial on the monumental inscription for Anna Leonowens?
16.		Tape for this broken-fence control was discarded in the grass and some orienteers may have missed it.
