Training Log Archive: Collin_Parker

I was doing incredibly well for the first third of the race. I was confident, fast, and precise because I implemented new techniques after learning from the AAR of yesterday. I planned my routes in segments where I ran quickly between obvious attack points and didn't waste time looking at my map the entire time. Then I planned a route where I would hit a trail and make two lefts, but I misidentified some collecting features including cliff faces and the sound of flowing water. I ran in the wrong direction and took a while to figure out where I was, causing me to add over twenty minutes to my time. I was able to make it back to my last point and recover, after which I did very well again. I should have been much better than this.

Sunday - Orange - Splits

Spent way too much time planning and identifying every single collecting feature on the map between points. With so many rock walls and paths, I easily could have sprinted to obvious attack points and reoriented as I went to save massive amounts of time. I also need to account for vegetation density in my route planning because I spent far too much time in thorn bushes when I easily could have circumvented them.
