Middle type course. Having no controls wasn't easy. Some hesitations as a result.
Ended up on crags near 1 so time lost there. 2-4 were grand, as was the bit in the technical part. Then long leg, starting uphill, then downhill, so nice leg. Did around 3/4 of the leg fine but very hesitant towards the end. Didn't help that the re-entrant was a bit vague too.
Ended up too high on 11, saw the 2 boulders crossing the fence but thought they were boulder field lower down. Not much time lost.
12 was a bit odd but was on line for it. Then downhill from there to the finish.
Running conditions were very good, marshes dry. Found some nice lines through the more tussocky ones too. Good to get out on a map ahead of IOC.
