Race Evaluation

Canmore Training: Bow Valley PP

BillJarvis's comments - by leg

1. Time Lost: 00:40Wrong map scale ( something like 1:16,100). No control descriptions. Poor map resolution. Took some time to get into the map!
2. Time Lost: 00:15ran between the two hills then bearing led to ribbon.
3. ran bearing to right of line then followed large fields to trail and took precision bearing from trail bend.
4. Time Lost: 01:30Saw old ribbon, knew where I was but couldn't find flag in re-entrant. Was later told it was on a hill, but the feature circled is clearly a re-entrant on the OCAD map!
5. bearing
6. went left of lake. Ran hard with no mistakes but was 21 seconds slower than JW - maybe that is our raw speed difference!
7. Time Lost: 00:15aimed-off slightly right, hit linear clearing after control and circled in to find it
8. Time Lost: 00:20bearing from trail bend, read all big features but thought I was looking for a depression. Went to centre of circle and found hill.
9. bearing
10. Time Lost: 00:10easy leg. Followed field system to left of line then aimed-off left to hit big path near field.
11. Time Lost: 00:20through big field, up esker and then precision from path bend
12. Time Lost: 02:30took bearing but didn't count paces so stopped short on wrong ridge and had to spiral around to find correct ridge and control. Got lucky I guess.
13. Time Lost: 00:30followed handrail ridge to left of control but was a little hesitant
14.
15. Time Lost: 00:10sloppy bearing out of control so drifted a bit right. Started and finished in the parking lot instead of where shown on map.

Total Time Lost - 00:06:40
