Well, I've gone and unlearnt everything I learnt last season.
First control was easy, and I hit it clean, then got chased by my children who were wandering round with Dad. 2 and 3 lost significant time, getting lost, then not checking descriptions and wasting bif time in the circle. From memory, more or less clean through the next few. Lost a few seconds standing next to number 9 and took the long route choice to 11. 12-14 was straightforward running, then I misread what hte circle at 15 was centred on, and ran around like a headless chook until I read my descriptions, then ran into a dead end before retreating and finally getting to the control. Deopped me from a comfortable but unspectacular second to seventh. A bit scrappy and motivation-deprived to the end, just overhauling Juffy at the finish for 6th.
Basically can't read the fine detail on the run, which makes good course setting too hard for me to run hard with. Add my failure to adapt to the lack of descriptions (except on the back of the map) and it was pretty disastrous.
Still looking forward to the bush sprint next weekend.
