Kemp will be devastated if she's pushed into 4th, but wow she's really put herself right up there.

Jansson's ankle

[Scott]

Alexandersson with a big lead at 20. Gold at last?

Whatever happens, Kemp's run will be comfortably the best ever performance by a North American at WOC.

1. Alexandersson 33.57
2. Bagstevold 34.32
3. Gemperle 34.35
4. Kemp 34.50

Leg 1 to 2 on the women's will sort them out! Niamh has decided to head for the road. Where would you go?!

[mikey]

Road!

[madmike]

Road!

pretty much straight for me

Not having TV or GPS coverage sucks...the blog helps but it's not the same as watching wee coloured dots on the map. The quality of the GIF maps on the website isn't great either, but FWIW I think I'd be going straight to #2 staying South of the pink line, taking so much road adds so much more distance over an already long course.

yep - my thoughts exactly

The site is doing some weird scaling thing on the maps. Try these links for higher quality:

Brilliant thanks Simon they are way better.

The blog was posting thumbnail sized images in IE, but when I opened in Chrome the blog images work OK now.

"live" tracking seems a long way behind the action, denisova has yet to reach control2 on it.Is this normal??

looks like hollie is having trouble crossing a water feature, she may have assumed it wasjust a stream but suspect it is some sort of artificial channel asit has black edges, she is having to go a long way out of way to find a crossing.

looks like she has just done a lemming style crossing after following it for some way, pushed her a long way off course.
