Sprint champs around a park, school and other facilities (including a cinema) in Mt Barker. I entered the longest course that M21A's were doing as a non-championship course, not being sure if I'd be able to run anyway. In the end I jogged around the whole course and didn't really have any mistakes, because I wasn't moving that fast.
As it turns out, I wouldn't have been last even if I'd entered M21A... That might be because I didn't check the control number at 4, because it was obviously my control and I knew I was in the right place. It turns out this had the wrong control number and lots of people got tripped up. Then, coming into 15, the other control with the wrong number on it, I saw Simon running out of it who told me it had the wrong number. I told Aiden that was running into it as I was exiting. I thought the course was really fun and well set - it's a shame that a couple of switched control numbers ruined the race for so many people.
