Race Evaluation
Western Canadian Orienteering Championships 2005: Manitoba Champs
pfc
| 1. | Went a little too far north, had to backtrack SW on a trail. Debatable whether it lost time, since the other option was W through woods of indeterminate thickness | ||||||
| 2. | +00:15 | Hesitation to check map at top of reentrant | |||||
| 3. | Nice trail plus an obvious hill for AP | ||||||
| 4. | +00:20 | Stayed too far out in the open, also missed that the control was in a white area bordering dark green (bad contrast with yellow) so I was looking for it just outside the tree line instead of just inside. | |||||
| 5. | +00:30 | Crossed over barbed wire fence too soon, had to cross twice more getting to AP. Fast direct 200m run from AP | |||||
| 6. | Direct hit over top of spur | ||||||
| 7. | Dogleg back along 5-6 route, since I knew it was easy. Kept fence 50m to my right and dropped in on 7 perfectly. | ||||||
| 8. | +00:45 | Southern route, along open ride w/fence, then around thick woods. I had a momentary problem orienting myself in the clearing on the other side, hesitation at hilltop, ran N to control | |||||
| 9. | Could almost see 9 from 8, direct hard run, overtook Darius (I think - it was someone in a maroon MB longsleeve shirt) | ||||||
| 10. | +00:15 | Bailed E to clearing with road on the other side, cut NE to road and tookthe easy way in. Bobbled too far N, but caught myself quickly | |||||
| 11. | Trail, then ridge and veg bdy led right into it | ||||||
| 12. | Easy hops from clearing to clearing | ||||||
| 13. | +00:30 | Went too far E looking for a way uphill, ended up missing the easy way and thrashing through thick stuff straight up the hill | |||||
| 14. | Bailed S to the open field for faster running | ||||||
| F. | My best ever run at a non local meet! |
