Very wet conditions, but managed to avoid the worst mud during the run. Lots of sandy ground. A lot of flat dirt track stuff to start before climbing a small ridge with a lovely single track descent off it. Then a bit more flat until we turned up onto the final ridge. Lovely trails here and good O' area amongst the wattles and rock. I hadn't been passed or passed anyone since 1km and at about 17k someone started coming up behind, so I accelerated on the last technical section along the ridge. Felt a good pull on my left calf. I slowed right down and let him past, doing a very slow jog into the finish.
Lovely route and superbly well organized run.
