Event: SMOC Waterloo
12 PM
Unspecified race 1:24 [3]
Start
1 Look for open running cover and less ground cover
2 No comment
3 Look for open running cover and run on road when possible
4 No comment
5 Don’t follow the roads. I do not think that the road you followed is mapped and it was distracting. Look for the overall shape of the clearing and the location of the control within it.
6 Needed to have identified the depressions before taking the bearing and walking. Once you found the depression, the controls were easy to find.
7 Need to follow bearing more closely by identifying a horizon object on the bearing, going to the object, and then repeating to overcome your natural tendency to drift on a bearing.
8 No comment, just followed the handrail.
9 Significant altitude changes between control points, but the fastest person just went straight at the control. Straight is often the shortest course in white cover running woods.
10 No comment.
11 Went wide to avoid the marsh. Faster people crossed it.
12 Followed the wrong trail north, and had to cross a marsh. Should have followed the bearing off the erosion gulley more closely and it would have led me right to the correct control. Was running too fast on this section to be accurate.
13 No Comment.
14 Should have run on the road instead of following the snaking trail.

Largest time lost 5-6, 6-7. Lessons learned. Need to know more precise starting location before following a bearing to find a control without a strong, close attack point. Look for paths in open running whenever possible, even if they take you slightly off course. Need to follow bearing more closely by identifying a horizon object on the bearing, going to the object, and then repeating to overcome your natural tendency to drift on a bearing.
