Race Evaluation
Compass Sport Cup Final: Brown
AngusL
| 1. | +04:00 | Overshot control #1 to #9 losing about 3-4 minutes. This is a relatively common error for me - I need to work on estimating distance). | |||||
| 2. | Nailed 2 running along the ridge to the mini col. | ||||||
| 3. | Spiked. | ||||||
| 4. | Spiked, good attackpoint. Down the slope and the edge of the field to the wall corner and then down the track. | ||||||
| 5. | +02:00 | Could have done better, choosing to go straight rather than following an intermittent trail slightly to the west, and this time underestimating distance. | |||||
| 6. | Flew up to #6. | ||||||
| 7. | Went north of the vegetation to join a track to #7, having been slowed and tired by thick bracken in recent BAOC events. Nailed 7. | ||||||
| 8. | Good navigation to #8. Down track, up onto ridge, dropped to clearing to pick up track and then gulley. | ||||||
| 9. | Fast revisit to #9. | ||||||
| 10. | +02:30 | Hesitated on gated exit onto the moor from #9, as many others did I believe. Chose to run on the path north and east rather than through the heather - it works well for me as I feel my pace is quite good at the moment and it helps my confidence, but I suspect it cost me a little time, although I did take two people #10-11. | |||||
| 11. | Good approach staying high to keep visibility of the control, beating two people who were 25m ahead of me on the run in. | ||||||
| 12. | A boulder in a field. Was heading too far west/uphill by about 25m. Not a major issue. | ||||||
| 13. | Long run up a path, with a good attackpoint from the footbridge and gate. Pleased with final approach. | ||||||
| 14. | Better line in than the guy ahead of me, cutting diagonally up from the wall nearby field wall attackpoint. | ||||||
| 15. | Track to road crossing. | ||||||
| 16. | Road crossing. | ||||||
| 17. | Straightforward navigation, and spiked the control. | ||||||
| 18. | Spiked this without realising it. Standing about 2m above it, 1m away obscured by a crag. Control description could have been clearer? | ||||||
| 19. | +00:30 | Good route choice, but concentration drifted at the end and I ended up on the wrong control about 100m away. Relocated quickly. | |||||
| 20. | Fine, although I ended up slightly west/below the control. | ||||||
| 21. | Spiked | ||||||
| 22. | Spiked. Pleased with my route choice, navigation and attackpoint. | ||||||
| 23. | +01:00 | Pace starting to flag and I hesitated with no clear attack point. Getting in amongst other runners for the first time since #15 restored my concentration. | |||||
| 24. | Straight in, good spot from distance. | ||||||
| 25. | Spiked. | ||||||
| 26. | Spiked. | ||||||
| 27. | +01:00 | Hesitated slightly when I didn't get far enough west round the corner and then home. | |||||
| 28. | Easy. | ||||||
| F. | Sprint in. |
