| 1. |
Bad map reading +00:15 | Got confused a bit by a nearby control and jumped into the woods too soon. | |||||
| 2. | +00:10 | Took the left route to stay in the open. Could probably save some time going straight up the ditch. | |||||
| 3. | Right to the road, crossed bridge, then straight. | ||||||
| 4. | Slightly right to stay in the open pass the electrical box. Got slowed down in the green a bit. Might save some time to go all the way to the ditch before entering the green. | ||||||
| 5. | Slightly left crossing near the stream bend. Saw the control before climbing up the slope. Also caught sight of a control in the adjacent reentrant. | ||||||
| 6. | Pretty straight, between the buildings, pass the manmade object, and into the woods. Was maybe 5m to the right of the control. | ||||||
| 7. |
No attack point Lacked confidence Hesitated +00:40 | Didn't see the easier left/right route along the open, so went straight. The runnability wasn't terrible. I just wasn't very confident due to a lack of attackpoint. Slowed down and hesitated quite a bit until I hit the trail. | |||||
| 8. |
Did not follow plan Bad map reading +00:20 | Got on the trail and into the open. The plan was to go straight from field corner to #8, but in the midst of running fast I relaxed on my map reading too much. Instead of aiming for the field edge just E of 8 I drifted way right toward the sculpture/monument. I soon corrected myself before crossing the road but still ended up one reentrant too far E of the control. Got to it in a round about way. Also of note is that the control stand was down on the ground when I got there. I made a failed attempt to stand it back up before continuing with my race. | |||||
| 9. | Went right around the fences and got to the stream just N of the control. Caught a glimpse of it and went around to the bend. The mapping isn't so accurate here, as I believe the stream bend to be a tad further S than what's shown on the map. | ||||||
| 10. | Across the stream and ran the trail to the root stock. | ||||||
| 11. |
Bad route choice Did not plan ahead Ran too fast Not thinking clearly +00:40 | Didn't have time to look ahead, and for some reason I also didn't see the trail (on the map or in the terrain) heading N out of 10. So ran in the general direction to 11, but drifted terribly left. My only saving grace was catching the big trail W. I slowed down, figured out where I was, then ran the trail N till it ended and took a bearing to 11. | |||||
| F. |
Bad route choice +00:12 | Perhaps still not recovered from my momentary braindead, I took a bad route choice - right, to road just SW of bridge, instead of the straight approach, crossing the stream into the open. |
