Race Evaluation

mikeminium's comments - by leg

1. Ran too fast
Bad map reading
Hesitated
Time Lost: 00:30
Left trail a curve too soon & had to fight green
2.
3.
4.
5. Bad map reading
Time Lost: 01:00
looked a reentrant too far & had to backtrack.
6.
7. Did not like map
over-ran control hidden in green. This area is a pain. There are several small reentrants but only one mapped. I blame this partially on the map. I also spent 6:08 running back to recover a hat that dropped out of my pocket, wich I am not showing as part of my split time, so my total here should be 6:08 faster than official meet results. I sould have found the hat in 2 minutes but another orienteer had already picked it up.
8.
9. Did not check features en route
Ran too fast
Confused parallel features
Could not relocate
Lacked confidence
Time Lost: 04:00
mis-placed control plus my lack of precise contact cost me quite a bit. I blame 2 mins on the bad placement & 4 mins on my lack of contact (although I went straight to the correct point, I wasn't convinced when the bag wasn't there).

12. badly mis-placed control.
13.
14. Lacked confidence
Hesitated
Frustrated
Time Lost: 01:00
Control wasn't where I expected it. I assumed bad course setting and didn't check the most logical place carefully enough... glanced that way, but didn't see a bag & didn't go in to check, until I wasted time checking other less likely possibilities.
15.
16. Tired
17. Tired
slightly misplaced control.
18. Tired
