Race Evaluation
Ottawa Fall Series Event 4: Long Advanced
boyle
| 1. | This year's drought conditions didn't help dry the lakeside trail which I abandoned but then found the alternatives just as wet and that was before the rain started. | ||||||
| 2. | From the start I chose compass over trail and soon learned I must get new compass. | ||||||
| 3. | Dangerously slippery rocky trail confirmed choice to go overland. | ||||||
| 4. | |||||||
| 5. | I drifted right and attacked off trail junction. | ||||||
| 6. | Despite being a tiny straight S leg, I managed to lose a placing. | ||||||
| 7. | I stumbled around in the wrong open area. | ||||||
| 8. | There were too many other rocks near control. | ||||||
| 9. | |||||||
| 10. | Again I wasn't fast enough on tiny straight S leg, losing another spot. | ||||||
| 11. | My first trail run turned out horrid drifting left 200m and hitting wrong control before catching feature. | ||||||
| 12. | Having already visited control, I had fast leg. | ||||||
| 13. | |||||||
| 14. | Picked up Alex at 13 and watched& followed him failing at 14 and saw Eric tumble off cliff. | ||||||
| 15. | While I much enjoyed long run though drifted left 150m, did not enjoy failing in circle with Lester & others. Found old control we would eventually leave at 15 which was in the right spot. | ||||||
| 16. | Straight run up dry pond | ||||||
| 17. | Trail run past pond and doubled back, good route choice beat others | ||||||
| 18. | Attacked from trails W of control | ||||||
| 19. | Followed back of yards | ||||||
| 20. | Moved up place on trail run | ||||||
| 21. | |||||||
| 22. | Big mistakes and Lester caught up, went S below cliff all the way to yards and then came back up and N but was still short of control until I eventually matched main trail and map, too long on course at this point. Good thing I took water at both stops. | ||||||
| 23. | N trail and off parking lot | ||||||
| 24. | Straight N but hesitated in valley | ||||||
| 25. | Should have gone up and stayed up | ||||||
| 26. | Overland | ||||||
| F. | Straight up straight down, a fine tradition on this map |
