Went out to run the course as fast as I could, having the advantage of knowing where the route choice was (this did not always work out though). Got into the swing of things after a tough first control, and almost came badly unstuck at 3 after running faster than I could navigate.

Pretty happy with the result, and it was good to see others enjoyed the courses as well.

Pretty standard.

Not as cold as last night, and I was able to get out a bit earlier, so it was only dark for the last 5 or so minutes.

Bloody cold when I went out for a run at 6 after work. Not a bad run, but just got too cold out there. I was even starting to get an earache towards the end.

One of the better spur-gully areas around this part of Victoria, and the overnight rain made it even better, if a bit slippery.

Was running pretty well for most of the course, but some stupid route choice and a few other mistakes probably cost me a good result.

Poor route choice along the track to #1, probably 30 seconds
Ended up on the track going to #2, which probably cost me about 60 seconds.
Lost another 45 seconds at #7 through stopping to early, and looking about 2 contours down, despite comming around the hill at the right height.
Lost another 45-60 seconds at 14, ending up about 250 metres below the control near another set of rocks.
