Felt good on the long leg to 1, ran staight past 2 and realised when I hit the big erosion gully. Not used to running in such large fields so a bit frustrating when people catch up to you. Weird route choice to 5 down into the dry river and along a ploughed field up to the massively steep hill won me a split, the only one of the race. Drifted too low on 9 thinking the control was further down the spur than it appeared on the ground, a few of us were lost sheep around here. Happy to be under 10 min/km.
