Race Evaluation
UNO Camping Weekend: Blue Day 1
bshields
| 1. | I forgot to write down my splits before the night-o, so they were erased. Sorry. | ||||||
| 2. | The first of many mistakes. Crossed that Croatia-shaped marsh and ran up the hill that's in the middle of it, thinking it was the hill the control was on. I seem to remember 3:16 for this control. | ||||||
| 3. | I decided to go right around the lakes. It was definitely faster to go through the beaver dams. Alexei was ~7 minutes and I was ~9. | ||||||
| 4. | I again went right, dropping into the NS marshy reentrant, going up the first reentrant on the right and around the hill. | ||||||
| 5. | I planned to go more or less straight. At this point I was sucking air in and feeling pretty bad. Pretty soon I was lower than I had planned, all the way down to that yellow-and-blue-striped marsh. Not such a bad route choice anyway, but now I just couldn't go on running, and I went up the wrong parallel reentrant. Not a bad mistake time-wise, but just bad. | ||||||
| 6. | I had to walk this one, too. Dehydrated maybe and definitely completely exhausted. Drifted way left, hitting the stone wall a full reentrant too far left. Aweful. | ||||||
| 7. | Walked this one too, and kind of demoralized after so many sloppy errors. This one was finally clean. | ||||||
| 8. | I drank a bunch of water at #7 and jogged a little on this one. I think breakfast finally started to hit me and I had some energy again. I was a little bit left and hit that green marsh just north of the control. I felt really stupid. All of these mistakes were like I wasn't obeying my compass at all. Just not thinking about what I was running past; looking for the big features and ignoring everything in between. | ||||||
| 9. | This one was (finally) fine. Was able to run a little faster here. | ||||||
| 10. | Spiked this one too; just went straight and came right up to it. | ||||||
| 11. | Another spike. Straight and to the right of the marshes. | ||||||
| 12. | Stayed right of the water, ended up across the wet ditch from the control. | ||||||
| 13. | Too far left, lost my place somehow in all the knolls. | ||||||
| 14. | Too far left again. (I also was stopped by Joe's AR partner who was apparently supposed to be 500m NW of where we were. Nice guy.) | ||||||
| 15. | |||||||
| F. | Went pretty low to the water. This race was aweful. I kept going because I really wanted to spike something. A big problem was the hydration/energy situation, but I did some really inexcusable navigating. |
