Race Evaluation
Nav-Stock: Sprint
dness
| 1. | Even though I had seen where the people before me went, I took a few seconds to locate the start triangle on the map before I set out. | ||||||
| 2. | Actually managed to jog up the hill -- not something I normally do. Left around the fence, not knowing what the green would be like. | ||||||
| 3. | |||||||
| 4. | Straight, lucky to spike it. | ||||||
| 5. | Straight -- pausing briefly at the junction with the out-of-bounds trail, looking for the trail going down under the line and not finding it -- took a little trail to the left. Was I out of bounds? | ||||||
| 6. | |||||||
| 7. | Around the swamp to the right on trails | ||||||
| 8. | road | ||||||
| 9. | Chasing Brigitte, punched just after. | ||||||
| 10. | Straight - Brigitte had paused by the control before punching it, so I beat her to it. | ||||||
| 11. | We reached this one at about the same time. | ||||||
| 12. | Brigitte climbed faster + straighter than me, punching 1st. | ||||||
| 13. | Close to same time again. | ||||||
| 14. | I blasted straight, punching first. | ||||||
| 15. | +01:45 | I ran straight to the finish, not seeing #15 on the map, even though I knew there was a control there (thinking it must be on the beginner course). I was walking to the download area when one of Brigitte's daughters told her she missed the last control. I thought to myself OOPS and went back to the finish + checked the map. Jogged back to the boulder and punched. | |||||
| F. | Fun sprint! Even though it took us up the same hill 3 times. And drat -- I would have placed in M40+ had I not missed the last control. |
