SYO event at Ponderosa - Course 1, 1st, 24:10
Good area, reminiscent of Holt Park in places, but with added (steep!) hills. Hot and legs weren't up to much so just tried to concentrate on navigation.
Lost some time at #3 while I checked I was in the right place despite no flag, then man came out of house to tell me he had removed it, he agreed to put it back.
All went well to #13 when spiral entrance to control completely threw me on way out and had to stop for a fair while to reidentify where I was.
Couple of sub optimal routes after that and the brutal hill at the end finished me off.
All good fun.

SYO Ponderosa Event, Course 2, 3rd 21.52
Decided had enough time to trot round, which was all I could manage really.
Leg 2 was similar to late leg on course 1, funny how you go a different way if approaching from a different direction!
Then went straight from 2-4, miscounted alleyways, so that cost a bit of time, and small errors on a couple of others despite not running fast. Enjoyable.
