The course was in fantastic shape with some real tests for athletes. As a spectator it could not have been better as they could see the athletes in view from multiple times over a short distance.

The Start had a steep hill and straight before heading onto the main looped course.
Athletes had to contend with a steep hill on all laps. It certainly made athletes work hard.
