Short, short, shorter

Total length including false trails: 8.6km (not that anyone is likely to have done it). Total ascent: 327m. First back in 1:06, last by 1:12. No need even to mark the short run here since the long runners didn't break the checks and so the short runners had to short cut their run too. Click to see it big.

So I tried two things today I thought the HH3 boys would like: an easily short-cuttable route around the bottom of that gawdawful hill that we usually go straight up, and a nice generous 700km dirt road finish for some Hollywood sprinting. In fact nobody sprinted or cared about the run-in, but they certainly seemed to enjoy the short-cutting possibilities. Robocop was especially lavish in his praise, probably because he came in first (despite having run a half-marathon in the morning), not that we keep track or anything. OK, so next time I'll try to do one where going off paper will be rewarded with a fall off a cliff face or a plunge into a swamp.
