A perfect, flat course for fast times. 2 laps + 100m start straight = 5km. First 100m, great, into the lead and away from the field. Then into the first lap, entirely on gravel/dirt trails with all of the (many) turns clearly marked with arrows sprayed on the gravel. After one lap, cruising for an even paced, comfortable sub-17 minute 5k and an unchallenged victory. Lap 2, the same as the first lap. But that would be boring. Much better to make up your own route. Can you spot my deliberate mistake? 108 finishers, one DNF. I'm thinking that white paint sprayed on gravel isn't so durable when 108 people have run over it! Alan
