Race Evaluation
Gauteng Short Course St Albans: MEN
jgreen
| 1. | ok start. | ||||||
| 2. | +00:03 | ok second control but lost some time in the circle looking for the control instead of going to it. | |||||
| 3. |
Bad route choice Did not plan ahead Read map too late Bad map reading +00:10 | wrong route choice here. went round past 19 cause i exited the forested area without planning my route completely. only realised my mistake when i got to the open area and didn't see the tennis courts. | |||||
| 4. | not sure which route was fastest - i went north round the astro turf. | ||||||
| 5. |
Read map too late Bad map reading Bad distance judgement +00:05 | lost time at the edge of the circle - fell into the earlier re-entrant and then ran round to the correct part in the green. I need to read in the circle better. | |||||
| 6. | +00:05 | was a tricky control to enter from the open area at teh correct place - i ended too far north and came back onto the control. | |||||
| 7. | easy enough. | ||||||
| 8. | +00:05 | didnt have a good attack point, the building was a bit far away and i went to the earlier pit before going to the correct one. | |||||
| 9. | easy enough - could have run faster if i was fitter i suppose. I was momentarily detained by the uncrossable fence that i really wanted to cross. should have read more ahead on the map. | ||||||
| 10. | no problems here | ||||||
| 11. | nice route choice, i stayed north of the buildings. | ||||||
| 12. | another route choice - i went north of the buildings again, drawn up there by another orienteer. | ||||||
| 13. | +00:05 | the trickiest control of the course. I saw it wearly and slowed significantly ensuring the correct route was followed. the control come faster than i expected. could have gone faster with less hesitation. | |||||
| 14. | nice route choice again - i went north rount the forbidden area, the route was more straight forwardand i though i would be able to run it faster then the more intricate alternative. | ||||||
| 15. | nothing to say here. | ||||||
| 16. |
No attack point Read map too late Bad map reading +00:05 | bundu bashed through the green to the open area and stood on top of the control without seeing it. only then used the ditch to relocate and find it (3m from where i was standing) | |||||
| 17. |
No attack point Read map too late Bad map reading +00:35 | my undoing couldn't find the marked route across the river. ended up too far south and bashed around trying to find the bunting. when i saw it across the river i had to follow the rivers edge till the crossing point. then the running on the other side of the river was also tricky changing from the urban orienteering to Forrest orienteering reading the undergrowth rather than buildings and paths. | |||||
| 18. | +00:10 | easy enough - i did attack the control from too far north, so missed a couple seconds here as well. again reading the map in the circle was poor. congestion at no 17 punch also cost me exit time through the bushes | |||||
| 19. | stayed near the fence to the south in looking for the crossing point, not sure if there was a faster option near the river along the line. | ||||||
| 20. | similar leg to number 13, but good route choice available if you wanted it. | ||||||
| 21. | more nice route choice. | ||||||
| 22. | +00:04 | and again more route choice. through the buildings. slowed at the end in the circle looking for the wall. should read in the circle earlier, not only when i get to the circle. | |||||
| F. | long run in on tired legs, but thankfully down hill. |
