Whilst the FootO squad was running in the Czech Paradise terrain and sprinting round Mlada Boleslav, home of the Skoda, the European TrailO Cup for 2018 finished with PreO and TempO competitions in the UNESCO World Heritage area of Pruhonicky Park, just SE. of Prague.
There were nine Brits competing. Yesterday we had a really good day in the PreO with four Brits in the top 20.
The winner was Tomas Lestinsky CZE, 26 pts. + 111 secs.
6th Peter Huzan SLOW 24 + 132.5
11th John Kewley MDOC 23 + 213.5
17th Charles Bromley Gardner BAOC 22 + 183
20th Tom Dobra UBOC 22 + 203.
Ian Ditchfield was 32nd, Graham Urquhart 51st and Iain Phillips 56th.
Sadly we failed to replicate this form in the TempO today, John Kewley and Tom Dobra finished 29th=, with Ian Ditchfield 33rd and Pete Huzan 34th. Winner was Anti Rusanen of Finland closely followed by the young Czech, Daniel Locker.

Re: European TrailO Cup
Yesterday there was also a PreO sprint competition with 13 controls and a 17 minute time limit. The map was 1:2500 and the course only 160m long. Answers were also submitted electronically on mobile devices rather than punch cards which I imagine made things much easier for the organisers.

Re: European TrailO Cup
There was indeed a Sprint event on the Saturday of the Prague TrailO weekend, but I was too knackered to write about it last night, and my first attempt at posting on Nopesport this morning disappeared with a puff of blue expletives when the train on which I’m travelling home dropped its internet connection as we passed over the Czech/German border.
The Sprint course was about 150m long and consisted of 13 controls on rocky features above us on a very steep slope, leaving us with stiff necks at the end of the course.
Results were recorded not by punching but by using Libor Forst’s ANT phone app, normally used for TempO competitions.
The Organisers had originally suggested that we used our own phones for the Sprint, keeping them switched off whilst we did the PreO course, but this was vetoed by the IOF TrailO Commission, who insisted on the “no phones on a PreoO course “rule so in the end we had to leave our phones at Pre-Start and then use phones provided by the Organisers (presumably the set that they used for the TempO course yesterday).
Competitors typed in the answers into ANT, returned the phone to the official after we’d finished, who downloaded it and set it up for the next victim.
As this was very much a trial of what could be a new PreO discipline, there were three different ways of calculating the results. I won’t weary you with them here: its all explained on the event website http://mfp.mff.cuni.cz/ecto2018/en.php
