Race Evaluation

DVOA Fair Hill Classic: Green X 1

dness's comments - by leg

1. In my nervousness, entered the woods through some light brambles. Since I was wearing shorts due to misplacing my knickers, this wasn't that comfortable. After that, pretty easy.
2.
3. Time Lost: 02:30Ugh. Had no real plan, and got confused by the water courses (miscounted). Was NE of the area, and found 2 other controls before mine.
4. Probably not optimal, went the N way around (following a blue runner ahead of me)
5. W then S, overshooting to path before turning around and seeing the control. Saw Ken Walker Sr. (who started 4 mins behind me) coming in. Drat.
6. Contoured around field corner.
7. Time Lost: 01:30Ouch. Misread compass and ended up in the brambles to the E. Took too long to figure it out, then extricate myself.
8. pretty much following the line the whole way
9.
10. started west, but didn't like the green, so went S and then out into the field.
11. Time Lost: 01:30N to trail, w across crick, trail n. Overshot NW, hitting big trail. Thought I saw a trail to the W, but it wasn't. As I was getting to control, saw KW punching.
12. KW went straight, I went along the path a bit before cutting in & going straight to control (I saw KW wandering in the green on the other side of the ridge.
13.
14.

Total Time Lost - 00:05:30
