rock rings and ab torture

Event: ROC - Western New York Championship
 

WPOC Meet Directing

Letchworth NRE
Blue - 10.4 km, 330 m

What a beautiful day and fun course! Seriously one my favorite course designs to date due to the variety in terrain, locations, little fight, leg length, etc. I was having a blast, but for some reason couldn't motivate myself to really push it, so I just kept a steady pace that I felt good about. I think i was going slow enough that I should have avoided all the errors, but oh well. Really like the NRE format, and it looked like they got pretty good attendance, I hope the more local clubs take advantage of it.

Note: tracks start at control 2

3 - overshot when I saw a flag in similar feature that turned out to be on the red course

5 - mostly inefficient route, but also i was staring at my map saying the control should be here, instead of looking up and spotting it.

7 - biggest error. Went up the wrong spur and got all the way to the top, and then had to come back down to punch. a little demoralizing.

8 - stopped for water

11 - took it slow through the intricate terraine

14 - this leg was a road crossing you got up to a minute to do and is subtracted out of the real results. I stopped for a drink and to analyze the map flip to take advantage.

18 - overshot too far north, easy to correct off of a bigger swamp

23 - overshot too far north, corrected off the field below the nearby cabin.

Blue - Splits

nice easy ride. Popped two spokes...

Rock rings and ab torture

Booked return flight from denver on southwest, so if it doesnt pan out its transferrable.. hoping it pans out.
