Race Evaluation
GO Regional (Level B) Event: Brown

| 1. | Deliberately slow start to get used to the map. Nailed the control. | ||||||
| 2. | Chose to follow the track through the green to then head up the stream to #2. Longer route, but nailed. | ||||||
| 3. | Up the ride, diagonally in and spiked. | ||||||
| 4. | Had to walk up the track: weight and tiredness showing. Pace right down. Found the control as expected. | ||||||
| 5. | Still slow but no issues. | ||||||
| 6. | Bore slightly further north than I was expecting, so crossed more rides. | ||||||
| 7. | Pace recovering a bit.… | ||||||
| 8. | … and a bit more… | ||||||
| 9. | … but then disaster. Punched a control too early. One on short brown or blue perhaps? Gutted. | ||||||
| 10. | Arrived at #11 on a bearing. In retrospect that points to why I'd stopped short of #9. | ||||||
| 11. | Backtracked from #10. | ||||||
| 12. | Up the northern ride then cut in. | ||||||
| 13. | |||||||
| 14. | Fine, but painful climb again. | ||||||
| 15. | |||||||
| 16. | Spotted the control from some distance on the bearing so quickly in and out. | ||||||
| 17. | Back to #12, slightly further on than I expected. | ||||||
| 18. | Longer than expected, but quick. | ||||||
| 19. | This is where it went wrong: mispunched on what should have been #9, then realised I was in the wrong place. | ||||||
| 20. | Hesitant: should have gone further in. | ||||||
| 21. | Really slow for such a short control. Mis-read the precise location: re-entrant to the east of the spur, not west. | ||||||
| 22. | Good start, but then ended up one ride too far west. Had to correct. | ||||||
| 23. | Good contouring round. | ||||||
| 24. | Ended up too far south. Knew I'd missed it, but not sure why I was off on my bearing. | ||||||
| 25. | Error in the circle again. | ||||||
| 26. | Back up to speed. | ||||||
| 27. | Long detour round the out-of-bounds slowed my pace - wasn't actually too slow. | ||||||
| 28. | Quick… | ||||||
| F. | … and quicker. But all to no avail. |
