Big Woods, Day 1,
Route GadgetRelatively okay course, I'm not particularly thrilled about it but it went decent. My main error was that I kept getting pulled off my line into the hill, so I kept on ended up higher than the control, sometimes much higher
Error Analysis:
2-3: Bearing was off and I ended up at the top of the hill, which wasn't the worst route choice if I had planned it, but as it was, I was too hesitant and unsure of where I was until I found the two pits
6-7: Couldn't decide between dropping down to the trail and contouring, so I chose contouring bc I was already doing it, but I'm not sure I made the best choice as the rocks were slow going. I hit the trail right in between the two ditches, so I knew where I was, and then half-contoured, half-took a bearing up
8-9: Bearing was fine, I just got really confused about 2/3's of the way up the hill. I hit a charcoal platform with lots of rootstocks which is obvious where I was now, but at the time I just got very confused and spent way too much time slowly continuing up the hill
9-10: Started to mentally check out getting near the finish to my own detriment. I exited wrong and continued in that direction, and only realized what I did when I hit the charcoal platform near the trail
10-11: No mistakes just wasted a few seconds faceplanting hard
