Good course and use of the map. It was my first run since Jabulani over 3 weeks ago and felt it at times. Went bush to #1 which was the best route choice but unfortunately was a bit off direction as I lent my compass to someone else. Passed Brooner who started a minute ahead of me by going bush to #2. Lost small bits of time on #3 and #4 without the compass. Brooner passed me going to #7 and then although I didn't see which way he went to #8, we both missed the best 'road' route choice. Had to push hard through the last loop to try not let Brooner gain than minute back. Only just made it.
