NSW Middle Champs - One leg again was my undoing altho I lost at least a minute or two at control 2 - this meant that Paul P caught me and he followed me thru the next 6 controls. When he got ahead I lost contact with the map and really stuffed up the leg to 9 losing about 8 minutes - both if us were looking at each other and not at the map! Found fine detail on map hard to read and took a while to get used to the mapping with only boulders above 1.5 metres mapped - there were lots of rock all of different sizes. Very short legs meant that it was hard to get away from another runner and there were few route choices - 19 controls in 3.3kms - altho I covered quite a bit more ground than that.
