The big question on this map is always whether to cross the freeway, but luckily our course setter David took that decision away by placing all controls on the north side. That's not to say he made it easy for us - far from it. There were only two logical first controls, but after that it got more and more tricky. Add to that the constant ups and downs, and you had a nice challenging course for brain and body. Most headed up hill to 22 first, mainly to get warm on a night that was decidedly cooler than recent events. Ian was hoping for back to back wins but Pete spoiled the plan by returning first and relegating him to second, followed by Henk, Noel and Jenny. On the score course, Bryan, Simon, Greg, Ian and Matt all collected 70 points and took the top 5 places. Simon S took out PW with 66 points. At the halfway mark of series 1, the highest scoring runners on the 37s course are Darren, Steven and Vic. Peter has five 100s on the PW 37s course but has returned to running, so the leaders are Bernie S, Pete and Bernie H. Bryan's four straight wins on the score course put him on top, with Greg and Simon a mere handful of points behind. Steven leads PW by a large margin, with Di and Schon in second and third. Next week we head north to Greensborough. It might seem like a trek, but the map is terrific, so it will be worth your while. Keep your eye on the prize(s) - yes a nice block of chocolate could be yours!
