Real long distance at Hill End. Advertised as 7.1 kms and 245 metres climb. Actual distance covered as above due to wide route choices which were needed. When we left i was 3rd in my class. Loss a minute in the gold mining at 2 and probably 2 minutes on the long route choice legs. Took a straighter route for the 1.8 kms leg but this had some serious climb - most others I think went wider than me and had less climb. Legs felt good and was able to run most of it. Forest and tracks were very runnable.
