WMOC public races, middle distance.
The flattest map I have ever been on I think. Our whole course bar the finish chute was down below the historical shoreline. So flat as a pancake! There was a single 2 contour ridge running across the map, and a single open sand dune before the coast. Everything else was a point feature or a form-line...aside from the finish chute that is, which had 90% of the course climb - 300m long and winding through the forest up the bank of the old coastline. Bit of a killer!
Still, a fun course. I lost up to 45s on the first control, not understanding the blobs of green and blobs of open that were on the map vs not on the map. After that it was all good. All about compass bearings and learning which kind of fallen tree were mapped vs not mapped ;) Another time loss hitting a cup depression amongst patches of green, and on the penultimate control - again distinguishing mapped from not mapped.
Enjoyed the course, but glad we didn't have more than 4.5km in the stuff.
