NAOC 2014 Sprint M45+ - course 5b - in urban setting
I really enjoyed this and wish I was in better shape to kick some butt. I am very happy with the min/km. I would not have thought I could maintain that in a race.
My victory was inching out the two places below me each by only one second.
This was all urban and park setting. I wore the talons as they are very light.
A little surprised to see I lost about 20 seconds to the winning time on each of the first 3 controls but I was pacing myself as I didnt know really how far I could go.
Botched the last third of leg 6 by dropping my concentration and entering two consecutive residential driveways instead of the church driveway.
lost over 1 minute on #9 even though I liked my route choice. This could just have been running out of gas.
Lost a bunch on #11 also. I almost ran past it and had to stop and think of where I was. I definitely shut my brain off for 20 - 30 seconds after punching ctrl #10 and it cost me.
I felt a bit too cautious in the arena area but I wanted to be sure I was punching the correct control.
I had the fastest time to the go control but lost some time in the finish shoot. It was a 'U' shape and as I rounded the turn, the finish was not distinguishable. There were all sorts of banners and pop-up tents just behind the finish and the shoot opened to multiple areas (I'm guessing, for the relay later that day) I let up briefly to give me a chance to identify the finish control.
Overall, very fun and I'm glad my course stayed out of the woods. I just needed something different.
