Anybody else going from the UK?

[Scott]

Not I, but there are entry lists and things here. And also some old maps. The Long area looks, erm, steep.

According to the start list it looks like you're running with the team too!

[Scott]

The official website isn't very informative, but World of O have results and maps from the sprint today. A couple of excellent performances from Kris Jones (4th) and Cat Taylor (2nd, and only 4sec down on the winner).

Hopefully Scotland can do a better job of organising Euromeeting in 2013 than the Austrians have managed to do this year.

Yes, it's part of the six day in 2013 adjacent to the WOC 2015 areas.

Euromeeting/Tyr-OL today was perhaps the most spectacular assembly I've ever been to, surrounded by mountains. Forest was really nice too, perhaps a few more brown lines than ideal, but staggeringly beautiful, which reminded me why this is the best sport in the world.

But yes, some pre-information for punters would have been nice, eg the 3km/300m walk to the start and the 9min call up caught me out. Apparently it was in the internet on Thursday, so they didn't need to tell us at registration. 9.2km elite course was a tad short, even for the over fifties
