| Vico event at Royal Roads. This is an area that has some really nice woods and the course was fast and fun, without any bingo controls. Had some small issues on several legs. To number 2, I tried to run across a field, but it had too much low bush, so had to turn back into the forest. Lost at least 30 seconds here. To number 5, I took a bad route choice, low and to the right, was zig-zagging a lot and lost time. The best choice here would have been to stay high and to the left. Again to 6, I took the low route to the right, down a big re-entrant, and again the best would have been to stay high and more left. After that, I had a pretty much clean race.
Thomas beat me almost 5 minutes. Most of that was up to control 6. |
