BEST had so much fun. one of those races where you fall back in love with the sport. big red barn mistake ratio better than brads :D Mich finished 16 seconds ahead and paul 14.
started off with Mike, had a good start and found control thanks to Se and mike, tried to catch se to control 2 kept with her till 3 where we made different route choices. luckily found 4 before her and pushed to keep ahead. Made sure to pay attention for number 6 clearings in forests are tricky, found 7, 8 well. made silly choice by going through deep gully to 9. 10 looked on wrong spur initially.11 stopped for water. 12- long leg failure (that and starts my big prob) cut straight through found shallow depression before 12 and thought i'd gone too far( motto to follow for long leg : what would Michele do? haha take 3 seconds to make a plan and go with that plan) 13-16 good. 16-17(long leg brain fart #2) DONT CHOOSE THE LIGHT GREEN OVER WHITE. came right round settlement. 18 unsure whether I could cross cultivated land(YES YOU CAN), so went around 19 uphill slog. FASTEST FINISH!
