Race Evaluation
Orienteering Winter Weekend: Lane 1
jgran
| 1. | I immediately ran off without looking at my map (because I knew the direction from previous runners) and by the time i located myself on the map, i was past the most direct road/route. Then, to make up for lost time, I ran faster and ended up running past the control and needed to double back. Poorly done control. One minor mistake. | ||||||
| 2. | I followed the road to the wall and decided to just jump down instead of go all the way around. It was a useful shortcut but caused unnecessary contact with a couple of nasty thorns... Past that, it was pretty easy road/trail/stairs/parking lot.Used that last parking as my final A.P. and saw a group around the control. Made up for lost time here. No big mistakes. | ||||||
| 3. | I started running the long way around the parking lot (South along the wall) for a bit before i realized and just jumped down and cut across the parking lot to the east. Once there, I cut across the field and between the buildings. Again, the point was relatively easy to spot and there were people around it. No big mistakes. | ||||||
| 4. | Here, I was familiar with the area and simply ran to where I saw the point on the map. Once there, i realized i never looked at the clue, but it was just at the bottom of the stars and easy to follow. No big mistakes. | ||||||
| 5. | This was one of the longer splits but very straight forward and easy to follow roads. Getting to the point was easy and i chose the correct times to cut across the open sections. I got distracted by other runners and ended up running past the point and going to the other side of the building when I read my hint to say it was on the West instead of East side (holding folded map upside down...). Eventually, i realized my mistake and corrected, finding the point in a little alcove type thing i overlooked before. This was a large mistake. | ||||||
| F. | Again, straight forward running down the roads. |
