White Rose - Running Up

[graeme]

mmm! Sounds very similar to the 'rules'/ethos that surrounded the old A+B courses

No, its very different now you can run whatever course you like. Unlike the idea that if you're not fit enough for L then BOF knows exactly how unfit you are and provides a course to suit. If you don't want to run a course designed for the very fittest people in your age class, that's just fine: just don't expect to be regarded as a champion of that age class!

I do like Graeme's idea. There have been times where I wanted a TD5 course shorter than M21S, or one somewhere between M21S and L. I'm sure if I asked nicely I could get a run on 60L or 40L non-comp.

Well I'm not the slowest on M40s, but unlike "180minute man", I have no desire to be out in the forest for 2-3 hours every other week on M40L. So if you could let me know when youre bringing in this change so I can find another sport.....

180 minute man would like you to note that he was well under 2 hours today on M40L.

I know it's a bit late and off topic but I would just like to say that The White Rose was the high point of my orienteering summer (o-ringen, Lakes and sheff/linc urban.)

The courses were physically tough, varied and adventurous, the relays were great, the campsite was great (but very windy) and to win the quiz after all these years of trying just capped everything.

Many thanks to the EBOR team for providing us with such a perfect way to avoid Bank Holiday traffic - I'm already looking forward to next year

Duly noted - lets see if he can break an hour for Saturday (EWT 14mins)
