Compass sport cup round 1

Round here, it's almost normal to do 3 events in 24 hours. Saturday afternoon low-key event followed by a Western Night League on Saturday night, then a normal C4 or C3 on Sunday morning. No short courses like Simon's version either - for me at least it's Blue on Saturday, followed by an hour score and then Brown or Badge course on Sunday, with others I know possibly running shorter courses appropriate to their age. That's a grand total of about 25k. I'd never thought of trying to do another event on the Sunday - will have to check the fixture list next autumn for possibilities for 4 events in 24 hours!

Rich's suggestion sounds interesting, but you won't presumably even make the 4 O events within the 24 hour period. I'd be curious to know who has managed the most normal (ie separate events that aren't designed as part of a connected series) orienteering events in a day/24 hours, with Mathias's 3 in a day, and several candidates for 3 in 24 hours being the current benchmarks.

So as not to confuse people the NOC SL event is actually on the Sunday. It was provisionally on the saturday but changed so this is not possible on this occasion.

Its around a four hour drive from Huthwaite (nr Mansfield) to Dalbeattie so with an early start for the SL event (starts from 10:30 and would only take 30-40mins for the technical course) and a late in the Sprint Champs it would be possible.

Regularly do south Wales winter league fell race Saturday afternoon western night league, one hour score event and then a standard event the next day.

Two years ago I did 3 hours of the Kimm elite. In the leed after an hour so not taking it easy, partner then got ill so a two hour walk back to ritire. I managed to salvage somthing from the weekend by getting home in time to go and win the Western Night league score event. next day went and ran Gwent League cross country.

I'd decided not to bother pointing that out, since there is a DVO event on Saturday morning as an alternative. A bit further south, but it should still be possible to do 3 events in the day.

Further news from the SCOA round, courtesy of the EMIT results page:

A further review of the data discovered a competitor who was ineligible to compete for SOC this year. SOC have withdrawn the individual from the competition and conceded the second place position to TVOC. All Results have been updated with the new scores.

The clubs going through to the Final are therefore OD and TVOC in the Cup competition
