WSOC Coaches race with Greg Edmnds from NZ and Blaz Kolner from SLO.
Much changing of plans in the planning stage but managed 3rd coaches team and on the podium! Blaz could run fast so we gave him all of the long controls, I took all of the kites on the two castles - first section meant four hill sprints! Would have come 3rd against the athlete teams as well. Fun!

WSOC Middle race - ran W2 School course, same as Florrie & Daisy.
Missed #2 which woke me up and started using compass - wobbles at #6 & #7. Cactus as control at #8 - cool. Small wobble at #13 but pleased with run - would have placed me 4th in the category.
Tricky course as low bushes under the trees made reading the 2.5m contours difficult.

Long model area - very warm day - 28deg.
Lots of gorse and other spiky plants on slopes and in reentrants. Contours easy to read and control sites ok. Very rough rocky ground.

Middle race model area. Softer contours - 2.5m. Much harder to read the small ridges as low bushes restrict visibility.
