Race Evaluation
CNYO Highland Forest: Long
bishop22
| 1. | +05:00 | Tried to play it safe and run around on trails. Made it as far south as the control right away, but then couldn't make sense of the intersections that I saw and wound up being as far north as the start triangle before climbing the hill | |||||
| 2. | +01:00 | Up to the trail, then didn't notice the knoll to my left or the small trail to my right and so I made it to the little stream before attacking backwards. | |||||
| 3. | Trail to ride to small trail, attacked from bend. | ||||||
| 4. | +24:00 | Had a bearing and tried to climb, but it took almost 200m to cross the trail, so I must've been too far left. I tried to correct back to the right, but I hit a maze of streams that seemed too soon to be the correct ones, but I tried to follow them up and couldn't make sense of them, then I hit trails that didn't match anything on the map. Gave up and ran the "main trail" until I thought I could relocate - a triangle intersection in a small clearing, but the trails didn't line up with the only such nearby intersection, but I ran E any way. The next intersection (300m away) was also distinct and I figured out the triangle was 600m S of the one marked with a clearing, so I had a long run back to the control, and lost all motivation for the rest of the course. | |||||
| 5. | Ran around the left via trails, but I did shortcut thru the white a couple of times. Attacked from the ride because the light green looked real nasty along the road. C6: angled up to the ride, then contoured around to the road near the buildings. Hopped over to the ride and tried to be smart by angling down one telephone pole early, but the going was too tough and I had to get even with the closest pole before continuing down. | ||||||
| 6. | +01:30 | C7: I lost quite a bit of time near the stream crossing. I looked way too hard at the map details, when my desired route was obvious (up the big road), which I left at the bend. | |||||
| 7. | Didn't like the right side of the creek, then I tried running in the creek, but that was no good, so I climbed up the left side and carried on. Very slow going for me thru all of that crud. | ||||||
| 8. | Executed a nice route and spiked the control, but I was running very slow - walking on every upgrade. | ||||||
| 9. | +00:20 | Tried taking the indistinct trail as a shortcut but lost it, then lost a bit of time going wide right past the building. | |||||
| 10. | Moving very slowly again, although my route and execution were flawless. Tried to pick it up into and out of the control when I saw Rob. | ||||||
| 11. | +01:00 | Didn't see the obvious route to the right that would have shaved much time off. | |||||
| F. | Jogged up to the top with numb hands and feet. |
