ME Course: 2.9km, 16c, 30m (1:5000, 2m)
Another open park with mostly runnable forest. Had a fairly smooth run with the two biggest mistakes coming early on the longish legs. Bad direction and hesitation out of start to #1 cost me ~30s, then picked a longer route to #5 costing another ~10s or so. Vegetation mapping doesn't seem to match with reality, which affected micro route choices. #8 was misplaced and caused problems for some runners. Worse yet, the organizer moved the flag back to the correct spot half way through the race. Unfortunately, since it claimed that no one file an official protest, the final results stand.
I managed a 2nd place finish, just like last year in Taiwan. The incredible part of the result is that I lost to the winner (Zack) by a mere 1sec, and sqeaked by 3rd place (Tsz Wai) also by 1sec! Closest podium results I've been a part of.

Course L, 3.63km, 22c (1:4000, 2m)
Very open and runnable park terrain, so it was a good opportunity to practice running straight on a bearing. Results were mixed, but I was able to spot the contour features ahead and adjusted my direction, hitting the controls without problems.
#3 was misplaced, but didn't cause too much trouble as I saw people punching. It did confuse me slightly exiting #3, as I hit the parking lot much sooner than expected. Messed up #7 as the flag wasn't placed. Took a bad route to #9. Misread the uncrossable stream south of #13 and had backtrack around a bit.

Course A: 2.9km, 16c (1:3000, 2m)
Same mapper as tomorrow's WRE, so it was good to get some familiarity with the mapping style. Vegetation mapping seems problematic.
Course wasn't great either, offering only a couple of real route choice legs. There was a misplaced control (#6) once again!
