Event: World Rogaining Champs 2016
Rogaine 12:00:00 [3]
WRC with Lara. 75km straight line.
First the positives:
- We won
- We worked well together. I think you would be challenged to find a team that is more evenly matched in speed out there. It felt like we were seldom more than 3m apart for the whole race
- Lara seems to be more happy in the day and able to take the lead on the navigation, I seem to get going from after 11pm-6am while she gets sleepy.
Unfortunately I am left with an annoyed feeling about this race. Maybe I am too much of a perfectionist and it is silly to be unsatisfied with winning a world champs but we were very inefficient for points/km. Our plan turned out to be not good, or we didn't deal well with the fact it was too long. We cut out some controls we probably shouldn't have. I should have planned a route with more contingency if it was too long (as I was being quite ambitious with the planning) instead of cutting ourselves off at the furthers point from the hash house. Stupid and annoying as I consider planning to be one of my strong points. Perhaps I just got a bit over confident and complacent. It is good to have a bad race to learn a lesson and still take the win I guess. I think we could have got maybe 200 more points with minimal extra effort but maximum cunning.
Happy to have achieved the goal of winning the open womens. But frustrated by our overall performance. Seems like I will just have to try and go to Latvia to improve.
It has been a very satisfying year this year :)
