Middle at Pacheco. Open and steep ridge/valley terrain, with some oak trees here and there. Very pretty and green (compared to the brown in November 1.5 years ago). Unfortunately the fresh grass was tracking pretty badly, but I started late so it helped me a bit. Easy navigation and I had more or less a completely clean race. Went left on the route choice to 7 and maybe that was a bit slower. Controls 4 to 10 were fun with a good middle distance character and the end had a fast sprint-like feel. Wish I could run faster when it's so easy... hot and sunny. 3rd place, 2.5 min behind Ross Smith.
