The return to Mt Clear, after a long absence from the area, was a tough challenge for most of the 110 competitors on the Hard and Moderate courses, with the fallen timber, and thick, tall grass and thistles, coupled with the steepness of some of the terrain, making through getting through the area very difficult. Finish times were quite long, and a number returned to the Finish with missing punches. However, there was a good spread of ages of both genders and courses among the top 10 competitors on corrected time, with no Hard course seemingly favoured. The full results are here, the Winsplits are here and the maps and photos are here.
Eoin Rothery was the best on the day with a corrected km rate of 7 min 25.16 sec, just on seven seconds faster than David Stocks who was 37 seconds clear of next best, Grace Crane. They were the only competitors to have corrected km rates under eight minutes.
