More fun running today, I like the ups and downs, and the navigation is fairly easy with big features and long sight distances. Hesitant on 1 as I had trouble figuring how far I had gone, Eventually kept going and got in the area, and spotted the flag 30 meters to my right.. Good going after that, went straight most times, even on the long leg, but I did pick up the trail just before the last ridge, nice to run a bit on a flat downhill trail.! A bit confusing on the way to the last control, confused by the split rail fences across the trail through the OOB area, struggled a bit to just see where the control was....but apparently others had trouble too, .

Basically a good run. Was careful to set the compass for every leg. Over ran 1 a bit when I went around the green and by passed the reentrant, but quickly relocated in the broad one just above it. Lost some time on 8 when I tried to go north of the slash, but didn't go north enough and had to plow through the slash in the re entrant, should have gone south, would have avoided the green and been flatter. Good to be around 10 minutes per K, I thought those days were over.
