Not as hot & hilly as anticipated. Nice course making good use of the bush. Fairly obvious loop however deliberated a bit on 4, 6 & 27. Some good route choices between controls.
Made some minor errors/hesitations (20, 12, 21, 10, 9, 26) but they weren't costly to the result.
Forgot to start my watch until about 2mins which made it harder to judge whether to go for #4 (800m out&back). Probably would've gone just over 46mins if I had, so was a good call to skip it. Started a couple mins behind Ondrej but only saw him on the out and backs to 23 & 5. He had the balls to go for 4 & a long sprint to the finish.
Scored 590 in 42.52. James a fast 600, Andy, Keelan, Richard M & Ondrej all 590s with very similar routes and splits.
