Sandra Richardson Farsta by Igor.
Woohoo, first place against a stacked field! It was hot out even with a 10 am start, and i of course went out too fast and bobbled 1 with no plan. Slowed down and cleaned up until I got up to the NE section in the tall grass and hedge maze. I found it difficult to run so tried to do a fast walk. Jens saved y on my fist #9 because I heard the beep on the far side of the thicket. I pulled into the map exchange in first and focused on just keeping it together. I was clean through the second loop, although slowed down a bit. Came into the finish in first with a 3.5 minute buffer to Richard. At first glance the map didnt look all that exciting but the excellent mapping and course setting in the hedge mazes made it deceptively difficult and lots of fun!

Maybury maze-o streamers by steve
Steve had set a Maze course a while ago after the training weekend, so we headed out after the Farsta. It was brutally hot and the park was packed. I gave syd a 10 minute head start and set out, with a focus of accuracy over speed. This went better than my previous maze and I only passed through 2 walls. Steve did a good job leaving interesting route choices without being annoying. Had lots of fun on this one as well, thanks Steve! I took the streamers down as I went through.
