CC6 Janesmoor Pond, 5th! Plan was to take it steady then try and work up the field. The course always has a rapid start, so flat on edge of the old airfield. I didn't worry too much and let a couple of guys go past. Worked up on the muddy section by the river and on the hill (5th place) then two guys came past on the plateau and I didn't have much to give. Got to the muddy downhilll on their shoulders and dropped fast, dropping both of them. Worked hard on the final uphill and cruised to the line. Such fun and such a good course. Good to not have to work too hard and happy with the position (same as the first one at Fleming Park).
