10 mile XC

.
Well I tried to figure out how long a Circuit really is, and depending upon length of runway, I think it could be between 5-8 miles long.


Or another way to calculate this 10 mile XC is to think how long it would take in a 100 kn aircraft... = 6 minutes.... Not my idea of an XC.
Maybe he missed a 0 off... 100 mile XC seems more likely.
( Aren't most XCs a triangular route, with two TPs?)
