Hyland sprint : great course .... like the 3 real right in a row ...
so after establishing a nice 5:30 ish min/km pace from the start to 1 thru 2 and 3 (hadn't seen the flag but had already seen 3+ sides of the bldg so knew exactly where it would be). Punched fast at #3 and rushed on to 4 ... seeing a flag on shoreline about 50 meters away ...crossed the boat ramp and ran 10meters ....whoa ....that flag is way too far .....where the heck is the correct flag..pivot around look .... can't see it, check clue, check map ... must be there... look around again slowly start moving back N and the I see it between the rolling dock and the boulder . 39 seconds for 29 meters . 22:30 min pace ! Darn it ... nice work by the setter . Crank up the pace and off the #5 and the rest of the course cleanly (maybe 10 to 11 could have run the in the woods trail to save 5 seconds )
