Southdowns College
Urban Series # 7
1:4'000, 2m contours

New map from Ian and Craig. Nice enjoyable area of the school grounds, the arts college and some rough veld.

Still feeling rusty with the nav, and didn't have a smooth start, nor through the technical section 8-10. Lost time at 6 due to fence not being 100% accurate in relation the the nearby control, and then at 13 where the control description could have been better (I went to wrong side of fence).

Lost 45s in total, which wouldn't have moved me anywhere as I was a good 2.5 min behind Ryno, but still in 2nd. Matthew VC took a good 3rd against some solid competition.

Calf muscle still pulling a bit uncomfortably.

Easy run at B'sorah Farm. Change of shoes, trying out suitability of XA Amphibs for general trail running. Worked okay, same outer sole as Sense Pro and I didn't notice the reduced cushioning, but the narrower toe box did cause some toes to dig into each other. Heard a couple of white-bellied korhaans calling out in the grasslands for the first time in a couple of years.
