Metro race at Joondalup. I sensed that up hill from the start was a good move, and headed back up through the car park with not too many others - the mob all seem to have headed South to 1. Turns out the best move would have been the long run along the lake to 26. Once up the hill it seemed best to clean up all the Northern controls, but a count revealed that coming back down and along the lake would leave me one short, so decided to leave the 3 lakeside controls and take a long leg back through the control-less centre of the map to pick up my last 4. On reflection, 1 was so close to the start that perhaps the 3 lakeside ones and then run past the start to 1 would have been better.
Route was 4-5-27-18-17-16-22-24-21-29-19-30-20-28-12-3-2-1. Missed the gap just West of 18 and had to take a longer way round to 17.
