Nice event, but very technical running. Twisted my left ankle properly about 4 times. Nav was relatively ok, most likely due to running slower and concentrating on map reading. Caught Nathan at #9 and he tucked in behind me until 15. Messed up 15. Had Nathan right behind me, and was thrown off by Eugene coming in from a completely different angle. After a small loop, finally found 15 and then ran hard to 16, dropping Nathan on the way. Was too high contouring around the hill to 19, so dropped into the gully too high. Fairly good run from there to the finish. Ankles are now stuffed! 5th place in the end behind Brad, Mike, Garry and Eugene. Enjoyed it.
