The Sydney West Series at Parramatta on Sunday began with runners doing a lot of careful study of the map, as planner Lyn Malmgron's  course offered plenty of options. Runners were enticed to controls all over the area from the Cathedral to James Ruse Drive to the southernmost edge of the map. Even locals discovered parts of the town they didn’t know about.

The humidity was a challenge, too. A lovely sunny day after all the rain brought a tropical atmosphere. Only James McQuillan and Glenn Horrocks visited every control, but neither could manage it in under 45 minutes. Newcomer Dean Williamson surprised his fellow SHOO members by coming 7th overall;  one to watch?
