IOC Middle, Coumshingaun, M21E,
The area was much more runnable than I had been lead to believe, yes there were a lot of stones but as the there was so little vegetation it was easy to place your feet. Hills also weren't as bad as I was expecting, although I struggled on them due to the lack of a sufficient warm up. Biggest surprise though was the map, which was good and consistent throughout, my only real grumbles being there being too much stony ground shown shown (hid contours) and that contours weren't smooth.
A few disappointing legs on the course (#11-13 were very easy and #15 involved running past #2 to relocate). My run was decent enough, only dropped any real time on #9 where I went too high (think the control may also have been a bit low?) and several other small wobbles. The wee bit of forest at the end was also a bonus bit of fun. Doing Conor's time would have been a stretch so pleased enough to be able to get second, but only just ahead of a large pack of kids.
