Rerun of last years middle dist champs course.
Started off badly, couldn't see the track heading west from the start, so went the long way round. Then completely stuffed the first control, very easy to overshoot when there aren't any controls out there, ended up going a long way around to the north. Andre had caught me by 2 and tRicky was already heading out of 2.
Took the track next to the railway to 4 again, instead of the main road. Main road to 5, which Andre was just heading into from the railway. Passed Andre heading back to the railway, then he passed me again at the railway. Doubled back from the imaginary location of 6 sooner than Andre, so was in front again, then he shortcutted the roundabout, then I must have passed him again on the road towards 7. Heading out of 7 Andre was coming in from the wrong direction so must have missed the turn in, giving me a good break.
Pretty easy from there, looking out carefully for a couple of tracks that I'd missed during the champs.
