| Bog Slog at St. Edwards. It was a pretty fun course, although a couple controls were questionable and I just failed at cutting through green. My main problems were 2 and 3. For #2, I cut through the forest and ended up at the hill top I wanted to be on (just on the other side of it) and yet it still took me 8 minutes to fight my way through the green, and it took other people only 3 minutes to get through. I even ended up minorly scratchiny my eyelids somehow. maybe it's a bad idea to close my eyes and just push through if i get stopped by vines. and then going to three, i realized it was a 1:10,000 map, and yet i still had it in my mind that 2 cm was only 100 m. I was pacecounting, so i realized i had gone way more than 100 meters, and since the bridge (the control feature) wasn't on the map, i thought i was looking for a beach. after almost 14 minutes, i decided to go relocate from farther up the trail and as i was running, i came across the control right on the trail, over twice as far as i initially thought it was. i felt pretty stupid with that one; i shouldn't have wasted so much time running up and down the trail in the area where i thought the control was. I lost a little time on 8, since the control was a little farther south than i think it should have been. And going to 10, i had a good route, it just took me longer to go through the green than it should have. Overall, it was a fun run, and I've realized that I really need to work on running quickly through areas with lots of vegetation. |
