Re: WOC Long
Weather is good here in Rõuge at the moment, some lovely views out over the lakes and forest from the finish arena. Courses look.... interesting, with an extremely forced and trivial 2 control loop after the arena passage before the finish.

Re: WOC Long
Craney also going, now representing Australia.
2 minute intervals, pfft. Any images of the map now for those of us not with GPS tracking (no time to watch so not shelling out)

Re: WOC Long
Plus Hollie is off 2 mins after Fanni, and Ralph is sandwiched between the French "pairing" of Tranchand and Coupat.gaw wrote:I was surprised to see Charlotte and Jess, and Alan and Jonny only 4 minutes apart.

Re: WOC Long
From the map at least, it looks a far better area and course than I expected. I was expecting more of a lottery.

Re: WOC Long
The forest looks tough, lots of steep little hills set in a swamp with lots of rubbish on the ground and low visibility, with added mosquitos.
Some long route choice legs from the start. Some track options. I though Jess chose a good route to 1 but tried to cut a corner through some light green which I think slowed her down. Charlotte chosing a messier line picking up small tracks but was a little quicker to 1.
Aparently the semi open and open is quite vegetated.

Re: WOC Long
Terrain report having just run the spectator race which adjoins the WOC map in the north west corner.
It's everything you'd expect, except possibility the mosquitos, which I didn't really notice. Low visibility, lots of fallen trees and dead wood, and the marshes are if anything a bit wetter than mapped. Most of them look like ponds as you approach, but are "only" ankle to calf deep as you plod through. Yellow can vary from short grass to a waist high mixture of grass and all sorts of local vegetation. Elephant tracks form very quickly and are significantly faster than being first through. Rough open tends to have a lot of raspberry covering dead wood. Hills not too bad at all on our bit, but look a bit bigger in the WOC area.
Altogether very hard work to keep moving, which should benefit the stronger runners. Very varied as you move between white and green and yellow areas. Difficult to keep on a compass bearing. I enjoyed it quite a lot in a strange way.

Re: WOC Long
Well done you, looks tough and hard to keep a line.
the finish looks tough too, a steep uphill track , just what you need after a tough run, nice planner.
Worse than i thought , they get to do the hill twice, once on the run through then again at the end.
