WA Long Champs at Spice Brook.
Felt pretty good from the start, definitely better than I have felt at any recent events. Had a pretty clean run, just drifted off my intended route a bit a couple of times, particularly 8-9-10. Planned to go out to the track on 15 but made a last second decision to straight line it, not sure if it was a good one, felt fresher at the start of the leg than I did at the end. Took a few seconds to spot the boulder at the end and was also a little shaky coming into 16 but didn't lose much. Lost a few more seconds on 18 running to the higher boulder field which I hadn't really seen on the contour on the edge of the circle.
Overall pretty happy with the run and my position relative to others.
