the 'my mother says i am speshial award'

[eddie]

can we create and monthly award for complete cock ups in both the banter and orienteering worlds. this is my addition for this month and is probably a sure fire winner

tinto twin

15-16 about 100m leg

paddy walder fastest 1.13
lord f 22.15

i am going to buy a tiny little cat and take it to races so i can drop kick it as far as i can.

and my heal still hurts

moan moan moan

[samsonite]

i second that motion

surely that is a gigantic fuckup of almost trossachs like proportions

we'll have to get some polls going on this and maybe get some sponsored prizes for the winners every month

phew, nice work there lord fred. It was a relatively tricky leg, i'll give you that but 22mins for 150m = 10cm per second.

[brooner]

check out the night event splits for more great times:

ian brown took 59.23 for a leg (250m apparently) which was won with 3.41 while in the W60's they were storming, almost 2 hours for the first 2 controls before jacking it in... theres more, i can't be bothered going through them all tho however

[Godders]

I ran the whole course in less time than that, amateurs.

[Wattok]

Do you reckon we could have Blooper of the month/week like on sky sports news. It could be a new feature for 'nopesports news'! Bit early in the month to award it but i think you can have that honour this month dickalot You could expand it, have other awards each month like 'best result of the month' or 'Junior of the Month' might be a bit hard to work out but 'club of the month' too.

[samsonite]

wattok, nice eides, very nice

only one problem. OK NOPE will clearly always come out on top for club of the month, and junior(ish) of the month will clearly only be a 2 horse race between me and fred

but i dont mind winning every month. i have never taken that long on a leg in my life

adios amigos


samsonite

ps. stay chooned for sum amazin prizes comin your way soon from nopesport.com. i was in oxfam today and i must have spent at least 3 quid!!!!!!!!!!

[mharky]

theres endless limit of awards,

Speshal Moment of the Month Award
The Monumental Minute Ks Marathon Award
Orienteer of the Month Award

But there are surely a few untaped abilities and skills which must be rewarded...

Best Dressed Orienteer of the Month Award
Peel Message Board Carnage Award
Spurt Meister Award
Worst Orienteer of the Month (cant always go to ed)
The Award which can be awarded for somthing that someone does that really needs rewarding

i think these are all good catogories...

[chepls]

and how about a naked surprise award...seems to be getting popular round orienteers... awarded for the most extreme location.
yup i want an award too..
or how about freestyle orienteering... the craziest orienteering photos of the mounth. and now that I've got the video cam all we need is a crag...salisbury crags anyone?

[brooner]

not salisbury crags - too easy, you can only really get one shot off there, top of arthurs seat is surely the way to go, then if you land it right (if at all) then you can get some more moves flowing, get some combo jobby going down, thats what the judges would be looking for... remember, no pain...

[rocky]

yeah but, discovered the royal mile is damn good for freestylin/ free-runnin. takin it to the people!

[Pinches]

Just for the record, some person "highlights" from a rather damp O-ringen day 4 2003 "short" race:

Pinches 17:55

Leg 10-11 (had a "good" spell), 230m
winner 1:30
Pinches 26:33 (ooph)

Leg 14-15, 240m
winner 1:33
Pinches 18:28

Leg 16-17 (up to the last contol... can you see where this one's going Fred?), 170m
winner 1:04
Pinches 2:30 (194th out of 195)

Finish split, 190m
winner 0:31
Pinches 0:32
A clear 2nd place! Only beaten by one guy, next best 0:33. Cashback!

i scored 26 secs on the run-in that day tho.....

good effort on the rest of the course tho, you need to get that map online sometime!

[Pinches]

Methinks you did 28 seconds actually Sadly the map's not in the best of nick these days. Got a bit soggy in a certain two and a half hour downpour...

[pyrat]

put that boy in his place. i mean 26 secs has fake written all over it!
