Malvern Star
Friday, 7 June 2013
Malvern Star is an interesting map - it has a big chunk taken out of it, leaving an odd little "panhandle" in the southeast corner. The leafy streets diminish the lighting a little; nevertheless it's always enjoyable. Merv and Bev set a course that had a nice cluster of 2 pointers to the east, so picking those up early was an advantage that saved some of us from having to go to the extremes of the map. Everyone had fresh new handicaps, adjusted according to their performances in May. These will stay in place until the end of June.
The walkers did particularly well. Kathy was first back, followed by Ilze, then Hamish as the first runner. Next were Pat, Ainslie and Helen. On the Score course, adventure racer Serge showed the field a clean pair of heels. He was followed in by Alex, Matt and Greg all on 100 points, and all with a big margin over the rest. Late penalties afflicted half the field. On PW, this worked in Ros's favour, as Steve and Simon each lost 6 points and handed her the win.
Next Monday it's Mullauna, another oddly shaped map where we start at the bottom of a triangle and work our way to the pointy end (and back). Why not round off your long weekend break with a run? or walk? See you there!
