Race Evaluation
Ludvika OK, Middle Distance: H55
bubo
| 1. | Very slow after a bad warm-up. OK leg orienteering, but lost a minute to what I should have had... | ||||||
| 2. | Compass uphill, good visibility so I saw it from a distance. | ||||||
| 3. | Compass and map-reading, checking some boulders and a marsh. | ||||||
| 4. | Careful compass into the green and hit it right on. | ||||||
| 5. | Safe via the knoll and boulders. Won this split! | ||||||
| 6. | Long compass leg, nothing to read on really, but I obviously kept to my bearing well and hit this right on. | ||||||
| 7. | +02:30 | Safe route out from the control following a ridge past some small quarries. Meant to keep this bearing, but somehow I ended up way off. Relocated a couple of minutes later about 200m south of the control when I thought I should be west of it!? Later heard from the course setter that there was some local magnetism in the ground due to iron ore... | |||||
| 8. | +00:30 | Rather slow going down-hill due to rocky ground, through a green area and a bit uncertain in the control area. Was a bit too far to the right, but found it OK | |||||
| 9. | Slow running on a rocky slope but spiked the control | ||||||
| 10. | +00:15 | No problems, but got stuck in the very wet marsh I had to cross before the control. Took me 15-20 seconds to get my foot loose... | |||||
| 11. | Marsh and path running | ||||||
| 12. | +00:30 | Path running along the lake, a bit crowded and had to pass lots of other slower runners going into the last control the same way. Tried to keep up with Johan Ö and didn´t look close enough on my map. Did a stupid mistake, partly because I was looking too much after his back and partly because the control was three wooden stakes leant together as a 'tipi' instead of the house both the map and the control description said... | |||||
