[nope] trophy What about the rest of us

[the duncan]

yeah, but you have to be sad enough to actually go and find the BOC 97 website, or do you have them all in your favorites:

'Orienteering Events from the past, with which to be geeky with!'

[craggy]

It was the NOC link from that e-bay page
i say no more

quite a valid point really! I checked it out too to try and find out how [nope] i did that day but the results don't work

[Supersaint]

i remember it well - clumber park, and there was me, a little 14 yr old being asked to run 10.6km. i recall i did pretty shocking, craney caught and overtook me with ease, i ended up being about 15mins down. thankfully i wasn't doing the M21E, i recall they had a rather long 21km!

[Drew]

ahh good old clumber park....
I think i ran up that year. Brooner you travelled with me and Fraser?

it was fun.. it was the time of the cup final between Boro' and Chelsea i think. All the supporters were on the road going south. Boro' lost.

Anyways 11 or something had 7km or something stupid. Chris mitchell caught me at number 1. I ran with him the whole way. He did a 180 at the second last control?!
beat him by 10mins

The course lengths from BOC97 are available here:

why were they so long - the M21E at 20km

[brooner]

because it was stupidly fast (track) running most of the time.

Don't remember catching and passing you Nixon (happens a lot) but do remember being beaten by some punter from SROC (who'd already had the cheek to win the JK) by 10 seconds. Git. And we were miles ahead of anyone else.

Well i'm sure that's all very interesting but while you lot remember the good old days I'm sitting here looking at a handsome wooden toilet brush and wondering what fate will befall it - I think I'll screw the brush into the holder incase someone like Eddie wins it and uses it in the loo before it's represented next year

And it doesn't take a genius to work out who you are, based on your last few posts.. watch it if you want to stay anonymous

we know who he is...

[*Carol*]

you may know, but the juniors are still confused..

[Rachel]

i'm not!

[mharky]

i am currently constructing a hugely complicated formula for handicapping for the JK run in, a combination of speed for the course, your age, speed for penulitmate - last control (so if you wait you get punished), and some other random extranious variables.

[i-pod]

do all the courses have the same last control?
