An enjoyable run in great scenery, although the route was more challenging than I expected - lots of ups and downs, and I'm not sure why the course followed some very uneven squiggly-wiggly narrow forest trails for about a third of the whole route, although there are plenty of open tracks in the forest. I got a bit confused with the watering station half way through and then on the finishing line. Thanks to all volunteers and organisers for your hard work in preparing the race and assisting us.
