Race Evaluation

National Capital Orienteering Festival: Sprint Course 3

steveng

1. Along the trail for a bit then down the marshy reentrant (probably should have kept to the trails) to the bridge and out to the clearing.
2.
3.
4. +00:50Took the road, figuring it would be faster running but the climb up from the ditch probably made it a slower route. Stupidly overran the control, going all the way to the to copse 100 m south.
5. Didn't get my speed back up after the mistake, was too slow the rest of the way.
6.
7.
8.
9. +00:05Off a bit to the right, boulder was pretty obvious though.
10. +00:10Went above the cliff, was a bit hesitant and did some unnecessary zigzagging.
11. +01:10Tried to judge where to turn into the forest from #7, for some reason. Got the angles screwed up and went too far down the field, all the way to the small path. Was then pretty dumb and hesitant to believe that I really had gone far enough to reach the path. Went west a bit and could see the road. Headed north through the forest to the cliff, pausing for a bit to check out what appeared to be an unmapped cliff (maybe it was just a bit of rock, or too small to be mapped).
12. +00:10Started heading for the main road. Thought it looked to be too far away, and then realized that the control was actually on the smaller road.
13. +01:30Went more-or-less straight, intending to take the small trail into the control from the south. Thought I had picked up that trail, but it seemed to just end. Headed east through the forest thinking that I should see the building, but I was too low and/or already east of the control. Ended up coming out to the east-west trail near #15.
14.
15. Around on the trails. Didn't read the description and went around the north side of the building.
16. +00:05Took the path leading SW from the building, missing the more direct path.
