It must have been the combination of a perfect location and perfect weather (not too hot, not too cold – juuuussst right!), but people just kept on arriving thick and fast, to give us our highest participation of this summer; combined with the CGS students making sure they got some practice in before the official start of the Schools comp next week, we had a huge crowd.  Peter Grover set courses which enticed many along the creek, which seemed like a really nice idea until you had to tackle the seemingly vertical climb back to the finish!  Everyone came back happy with a course that had a good mix of physicality and thinking.

A Course – was doable in under 9 km this week.  Bruce was back to claim another comfortable victory, ahead of Matthew who is holding his form, and the ever consistent Ian.

B Course – most people completed this one in 7.5-8 km.  The top two was familiar with Ricky first and Tim second, and Andrius took third.

C Course – with over 30 competitors, the winners certainly had to work hard!  CGS’s Henry took the win, ahead of David and Elijah.  Several people found a route of just over 5 km, while others were over 6 km.

D Course – another field expanded by CGS, but it was Bill, Luke and Rhys who took the first three places. The length was between 3.5 and 4 km for most.

PW Course – this course had 40 competitors vying for the points! Dave was out in front with 61 points from  17 controls, but Rick on 56 points, and Jim on 55 points, were not far behind.
