Re: World Orienteering Championships
Brilliant recovery from Megan after some early mistakes. She was 2 or 3 minutes away from qualifying at number 8 but was fastest on the course from there to the finish.

RWTs are often way off - planners don't want to be accused of being wimps so almost always tend to err on the long side. Sometimes way too long...

GPS on the middle now started. How many are confident they could hit number 13 in the men’s course when under WOC pressure?

Sometimes the best athletes don't run flat out in the qualifiers. Most of the qualifiers are within 5-6 mins of the leaders in the quali. I'll bet they won't be that close in the final!

I'm 100% confident about my chances of hitting that one

I’d be heading up to the track then going in backwards from the ride.

Re: World Orienteering Championships
Some will wish later they had deliberately overshot to the small path to the SW...

Megan going well in a big group. Came a bit unstuck at Ctrl 12 as did others, probably caught out by control location on top of 6m crag!

She's clearly got fed up with being the train driver and uncoupled them. Spoke too soon, not so easy.

Re: World Orienteering Championships
With the football out of the way for a few days, time for some more orienteering.
Women's Relay 3.20pm
Grace Molloy
Jo Shepherd
Megan Carter Davies
Men's Relay 5.25pm
Peter Hodkinson
Hector Haines
Ralph Street
Reserve Jo comes in to replace Cat in the women's team after Cat retired from the Middle Final on Tuesday. Anyone know what happened to Cat?
After the Middle final got all Wharncliffe Woodsy it looks like the relay will be a bit more Brimham Rocks!

Re: World Orienteering Championships
Long race today, just starting. Good luck to the GBR runners!
Both the Men and Women have a huge 3.5km leg from #1 to #2 (not identical, but very similar). Where do you even start on solving that challenge?!?
