From flat down to Leith valley through Ross creek down into Leith Valley again and up to where the road crosses over the motorway. http://www.mapmyrun.com/route/nz/dunedin/702126594...

Event was at Logan Park, I got too excited at the start and sprinted off and didn't read my map well enough and stuffed up the first 5 controls, which just happened to be the hardest. Lost 3-5 minutes on control 4 when I went well pass the control, I relocated and found it very quick but should of done so a lot earlier. Lost about 30s on 1-3,5. After them I was fine for the rest of the course although these controls were not very difficult. Should of been able to do the course in about 25 minutes. I felt good running and strong on the hills although probably was running too fast to navigate properly at the start. I think I might have to get some O shoes as my trail shoes just weren't given me the grip I needed on the slopes although not quite sure what type to get?

Once again I got running diarrhea and stomach cramps during my run so had to cut the run short again which was real annoying. Not sure what caused it this time as had lunch about 2 and a half hours earlier. http://www.mapmyrun.com/route/nz/dunedin/544126568...
