Nice race for me. A bit flat, but a really nice forest.
Pretty easy start, straight ahead on the trail to a ditch and follow it in. However on 2 I didn't take a good bearing out, and ended up further west. I should have located the intersection and attacked from there, but instead went to the creek and followed it, but in the wrong direction...why I don't know...lsot 3 minutes there. after that went smoothly to 6 where I let some other runners draw me off line and ended up NE of the control. Another 2 minutes. 9 was the next bobble. Headed south too early, recovered pretty quickly, probably 30 seconds to 1 minute lost. After that executed pretty well. Didn't look at the control description on 13 to see the side of the knoll it was on...lost 15 seconds maybe there.
Overall I was happy with my run. Some less than optimal route choices. Though we were taking different routes, Laurence and I were ending up at the control together most of the time for the last 4 controls. I'm faster than her running wise, so here routes were obviously better.
