Race Evaluation

Pawtuckaway: Blue day 2

PBricker

1. +00:10Stopped at control at first road junction, read control number, then moved on. RTFM! (Read the f-ing map)
2.
3. +00:30Started heading to the right of the marsh I wanted to be to the left of, but corrected quickly.

10.
11. +00:30Went right of the pond, but veered too far right and went to the far side of the green marsh.
12.
13. +02:00Plan was to follow the marshes, but got confused near the control (marsh bigger than mapped?) and ended up relocating at the three boulders.
14. +01:00Attacked from the boulder, but map didn't seem right, and I went to the larger northern knoll first. Stood and stared down at the correct knoll for a long time wondering where the flag was. It was behind a tree.
15. +06:00I had been pace counting pretty religiously until now, but I figured the reentrant would catch me so why bother? Somehow I went way right of line and almost to the road. Finally successfully relocated on the knoll overlooking the trickle NE of control.
16.
17. +00:10Poor compass bearing, and found myself almost at the pavillion before correcting to the field.
