Sprint in Perth, Canada, course 3, 2.9 km (measured along the "optimum route" given that there some out-of-bounds areas to deal with--mostly a main road, for which they had a couple of manned crossings forcing a slightly off-line route). I enjoyed the challenge of making sure I was on the correct side of things (the first control, for one) and looking for traps. The only real "mistake" I made, costing probably about 40 seconds, was *not* crossing the crossable watercourse between 14 and 15, or even taking the southern bridge rather than the northern bridge (southern might have been slightly shorter).
A first for me, I think, was finishing the sprint *inside* a building. It appeared to be a venue that could be used for a farmers market, or be rented for events (such as this one), as it overlooks water and has a good sized parking area nearby. They had vendors there selling the local brews and spare rib tacos. :-)
7th in F55-64. The speedy Canadians duke it out for top three and I've been finishing in 6th or 7th.
It was partly cloudy and a bit muggy; temp around 76. Cooling off after we finished so I'm glad I had a dry shirt to change into.
