Ran really well, apart from totally missing 28.
Sprint at Aranda Primary School. Started OK, overshot the turn to 2 but caught myself before it was too late. Nat got to 1 first, and her first loop was shorter so was ahead at the end of that. I think I caught back on the second loop but did not see her again. A bit sketchy in the pre-school with different scale, a few hesitations but nothing too bad. Had real trouble finding 23 on the map, and almost decided to go straight to 24 when I couldn't see it - 12 was common with 24 and 13 with 22, so it appeared there was a line 22-24! Finally worked it out (better than a few others) so got 23 but not optimal route. Then was nice downhill so planned through until 30, but somehow ran a bit hard and when I got to 27, followed a random line to 29. Did not realise until finish. Also a sub-optimal finish when I thought the last was at stairs top (it was bottom) so ran from top to bottom and returned to the top and sprinted to the start triangle, where surprisingly there was no finish punch. Asked out loud where the finish was and had to make my way back through the start and download areas to finish. All for the MP!
