This was a good map but not the greatest course. Very physical to start (not good for me), easy controls for 1 and 2. 3 seems misplaced. I messed up 5 and lost about 4 min there! Spent from 8 to the finish repeating the word gratuitous as that is what it seemed to be - boring running through boring terrain at the end of 5 days slog.
Finished 2nd overall - the women of Australia visit the hall of mirrors, this should not be so.

Aoife started with Abigail McGhee. All good until 3 when she got distracted by a visible control, clearly not on the linear feature they were following. When they got there and saw the number was wrong, Abby gave Aoife a good "I told you so", at which point Aoife stormed off and came through to win the day. Nothing like a bit of motivation :). Good effort.

Least enjoyable map. Was a bit of a slog most of the way. Lost time on 1, 3, 5, 6, 8 and big time on 11. Was in a pack at 11 but too busy ignoring them and lost more time than necessary there.

Lots of fun just cruising around the pine forest. Wish I had made the effort to go out other days.

Not a great day today, very shaky on way to 1 but luckily got it "by feel" more than any technique. OK through to 3 but poor-ish route choice to 4. Executed first half OK but got distracted once the hard bit was done and lost 4-5 min getting from there to the control. Then poor execution back across the steep green slope losing a bit of time and energy getting 6. Poor route to 8. Lost steam from 9 onwards and really faded at the end when a train of people ran past me. Great area again.

This was a tough course for little kids. One misplaced control as well did not help. Probably not too bad for those who were shadowed as tall people could see it.
