Gould finds course to his liking as C&AC duo net Masters medals
Described by Gould as “cross country at it best”, the 8k course was on the side of a gentle hill on mainly pastureland.
The course design was excellent with a nice balance of climbs and descents which were evenly spaced and the occasional period of level ground.
Gould finished 15th overall and seventh M35 in 30:40.
