Scatterrun Event # 1 of 2021
Cold morning for a Scatterun, even with the late start. Didn't get a good look at the map in the 5 mins before the start, so just headed off on the first 1/2 of the controls, deciding to try and get all of these at least, and then make a decision on any short-cutting.
So cleaned up the west side of the map, but made a few small mistakes. Found that I was definitely not reading the uncrossable fences well at all and was running unnecessary distance on control order as a result.
Crossing the central road I stupidly decided to leave a 20 pointer out. It was too early to make that call. Finished the eastern half of the map (minus the 20 pointer) at about 73 min into the 150 min race, so had a long 1km run back to get it and then start the 2nd half of the controls.
The 2nd half went a lot smoother as I knew where everything was and I'd worked out the order, although still got caught by surprise by a few fences.
Ended up getting them all, but 2m51s overtime, so 30 points off. I probably lost about 10 min in time by not picking up that 20 pointer in sequence, so a bit unhappy with my control flow.
