QBIII race 1 on sand dunes at Coffs Harbour. Great little area and very good course. Course was split and printed on both sides of the map. Lost a little time on 1, good on the loop around to 5, slight overshot at 6 and then ran well through to 14 where I left the track too soon and had to go back out to relocate. Very similar on 15, again relocating off the track. Going to 16, I hit #201 which was my 4th control so flipped the map over to confirm location and quickly found 16. Lack of fitness told on the 2nd half so was surprised with 4th place, albeit 3 minutes off 3rd and a lot further from 1st.
