Race Evaluation
OOC March Highlands Classic Meet: Long Advanced
boyle
| 1. | I added an unneeded 10 min to this leg. It's all good because this is the only time I get to run and stretch my legs. Trail parallel to Klondike now leads to private property and is much less used. I missed intersection and fell north of map for extra forest play. | ||||||
| 2. | After such a long 1st leg, I failed to remember the two trail options nearer than my run all the way back across boardwalk and S parallel 2nd Line. It was only 4 min extra. | ||||||
| 3. | Familiar trail run then off after boardwalk | ||||||
| 4. | Straight W but I drifted S | ||||||
| 5. | Straight S, footing in yellow near Terry Fox was bad. Swamp was all dry. Forest at control was no longer white. By now, I had picked up racing couple I would see all the way to final leg. | ||||||
| 6. | Thought I headed NW but actually was W, then trail run. w/o checking glasses, I assumed eastern hill but was west. | ||||||
| 7. | Short leg was a nice break. | ||||||
| 8. | Thought I headed NW but was actually N, still using old compass. w/o checking glasses, I assumed usual control feature but this time it was N of that. | ||||||
| 9. | I knew what trail I wanted but I went for wrong boardwalk. | ||||||
| 10. | Familiar trail run and then off trail bend | ||||||
| 11. | An unmapped trail did me in but many others suffered on this leg. I fell off map playing on trail and then fell off map again past lake but also past control. | ||||||
| 12. | This leg showed up as error but I actually just walked to eat a Cliff bar. I left trail straight N of feature. | ||||||
| 13. | Apparently this was my 2nd best leg. I knew water was dry and went straight through green to trails. | ||||||
| 14. | This was a nice long run and I used my old unmapped road bed past ruins and between trails. | ||||||
| 15. | This was my best leg and it was overland, hugging southside of pond and southside of green then off intersection. | ||||||
| 16. | S to trail and then off bend but I ran past control. | ||||||
| 17. | Even having seen runners returning, we ran too far and flailed until seeing control. | ||||||
| 18. | I thought I headed NE but was almost N. | ||||||
| F. | Said goodbye to new friends who were able to run home. |
