WOC MIDDLE FINAL

[Gross]

Good luck to the GBR Boy & Girls in the final this afternoon. Who's going to come out top? Anyone breakup the Swiss / French domination of Middle ?

[Homer]

Since you ask Gross, my predictions are Thierry and Simone.

Not earth-shattering I know, but I think it's amazing that two people can be so dominant in a sport which requires such a high mental input.

Good luck to all the British competitors. Commiserations to Matt and Mark; if it's any consolation, you'd have qualified if you were women...

[Scott]

For the sake of being a bit different, I'm going with Lundanes and Tove.

[Homer]

GPS coverage around the start must be a bit patchy. Rachael had me worried for a while until she appeared near no 2!

[Homer]

going well now though. nearly caught Lizzie Ingham

[Adrian]

Rachael 2nd out of the first 16 runners... http://twitpic.com/a8ls58

[Homer]

now running with her 4 minute man. Go Rach!

[denbydale]

She's now leading at #12

[denbydale]

Spoke too soon - Alm's nearly two minutes clear

[andypat]

Dont forget these are seeded with faster qualifiers later - she's having a good run - but at the moment good = top half...

[greywolf]

still a very good run tho
Thierry & Tove ftw - she or Simone will be going some to do a 30-35 mins winning time

[Homer]

Good run from Rach. Top 20 hopefully.

Unfortunately Helen missed early on, but Claire going OK.

[buzz]

Rach safely at the finish 1st out of 16 so far. Should be top 20 - her best WOC yet.
Clare a couple of seconds up on Rach at first radio.

[Homer]

..but she's overshot no 13 (too far down hill).

[Jayne]

ooh, I wish I could see the gps - damn the firewall!
