Graeme Dawson, Planner and Ron Junghans, Controller for Garingal set some near perfect classic courses at Baal Bone Junction for State League 5. Technical rock control sites matched with long legs through the runnable forest showed the best of the map to most of the runners. One of the ways he achieved this was by starting the courses at the top of the main ridge, making everyone nice and warm when they started after 110m climb in 550m distance!
Near perfect weather conditions for running continued from the Saturday State League 4, with the day clear and cool with bright blue skies.
Good visibility was key in this complex rock terrain but clear mapping by Alex Tarr meant that careful navigation was rewarded. There were spectacular views to be had for all courses; one view for the longer courses was the encroaching open cut coal mine to the west which is gradually diminishing the map area.
Next State League races are in the Southern Highlands, with the three day Queen's Birthday weekend bringing State League 6,7 and 8. Entries are open now
