Race Evaluation
2021 Orienteering USA Nationals: Sprint 5
bhall
| 1. | Had a pretty decent mental image of the start area so felt good, found the triangle relatively easily | ||||||
| 2. | Went with the first route that popped out at me - northwest and then between the buildings, then along the hedge from where I could see the control. All good. | ||||||
| 3. | R | Decided to go south then north zigzag which was definitely not the right choice. Wanted to keep some flow but lost time (I was slower than everyone when I had been a couple seconds faster on similar routes). Looking back on it the best option was going north, second best going south and along the fence and then north, worst option was what I did. | |||||
| 4. | D | Meant to go in the gap between the fences but exited at an angle that got me to the end of the fence, lost maybe a couple of seconds but nothing bad. | |||||
| 5. | South to the staircase and south of the building, hesitated at the first staircase down and went around to the east side and then down. Lost time. | ||||||
| 6. | P | P | Went to the control on the tree in the white, hesitated and lost wayyyy to much time (didn't think it was that much time, but looking at splits it was like, 20 seconds? hm.) | ||||
| 7. | North then down and around, no trip up by the inside corner which I'm pretty glad about. | ||||||
| 8. | North around the construction, I don't know if that was the right choice but it then helped for 9 | ||||||
| 9. | Back north around the construction, had a little hesitation when I got to the open cause it looked like it could've been olive green, but alas it was not so all good, hesitation unnecessary. | ||||||
| 10. | West and around, staying on the pavement and not fussing about with the white, pavement, fence mess. Don't know if it was the right option but went with it anyway. | ||||||
| 11. | R | Out on the pavement and then north around the pavement - should have gone through the yellow but I was moving too quickly to think properly. | |||||
| 12. | R | Went south through the start which was definitely not the correct choice - should have gone north. | |||||
