the time has come.
its the pinnacle of the junior orienteering calendar i i don't believe no one else is excited
who do people think is the favourite and who is the dark horse?
also what are peoples personal aims, get more points than last year, beat the person thats been a place ahead of you all year , have two clean runs, win the run in......
i also think that its a great move by the middle race orgainsers to have assembly finish and start adjacent, it should create a great race atmosphere!
woop woop its the FINAL!!

yeah, and it's an event in it's own right (pretty much) which is quite cool too!
Indeed I'm excited too. I don't think i'd be able to put my money on anyone to take the win-loads of talent about.
Sorry i'm not very decisive! We'll just have to see what happens...

I'm excited and I'm not even running....
Shame everything clashes at this time of the year but much as I can't wait to see how you all get on this weekend I wouldn't miss my soon-to-be-brother-in-law's wedding... Jase and I will be sitting in church with our mobiles on silent waiting for the results to be texted through...
Good luck everyone

No-one else seems willing to start Doug's ball rolling, so here's my guess for the top places :
M20 Duncan, probably followed by Doug
M18 Hector
W20 Becca
W18 Anne
Like Jess, I think there's a number of people in the running for the other places, and it's just too close to call.

however, there's no segregation of 18/20 this weekend, one pot for all (unless I've missed something different about this year), so it will be interesting as there are a few characters who have dominated so far, but will others have peaked in time to knock them off? should be close racing all the way, getting excited now too

Duncan Coombs 26.55
Iain Embrey 27.05
Joe Mercer 27.10
Hector Haines 27.30
of the M18s
2 Ralph Street 28ish
Mikey Hopkins and Michael Noblet were the next two (can't remember order) 29ish
of the M20s
John Rocke 28.20
Andy Llewyllen 28.40
Dave Scorah 29
Ben Stevens 29.30
Think there were 12 men between 27 and 30 mins!
Doug Tullie and Chris Smithard mispunched and Rhodri took 33 I think.
Women:
Hollie Orr
Becca Roberts
Anne Edwards?
As you can see, I didn't remember too many of the womens results, I was too depressed at the 15 men who beat me!!!
The course was good, crammed into a tiny bit of map, but good leg length variation, direction change, change of pace etc, all the things you should have.
Best of luck to all the juniors on tomorrows courses. They look long but Bentley is fast so expect 6 min/km at least for the men over the 12km!

According to WCH website the courses were planned for 25-30 minute winning time so OK on that front.
My sincere apologies to Tess for omitting her result.
According to Elite competitions group the Jwoc selection races (FCC final) are supposed to have 25min winning time for both mens and womens middle races and for tomorrow the guidline winning times are 55-60min for the women and 65-70min for the men "in line with JWOC races"
I reckon all 4 will be about right.

Duncan is indeed an M20. I just listed the top 4 overall, for whom I knew rough times and then just reeled off what I could remember from the other results.
The results were listed as M18 and M20 even though for the weekend competition it's overall time and the age classes are combined.
The series winners are of course separate classes although points scores for this weekend are done combined I think.
