2010 which event are you most looking forward to?

[awk]

I'd love to do the Venice Sprint but will probably have to leave it until I don't take as much time off in School holidays as it seems a bit of a waste just going for a weekend

There is a shorter more informal race on the Saturday, but the main race on the Sunday is no sprint! M45 this year was just over 7k, about 10-12k of running. Done it 3 times now, squeezing it in between school days on Friday and Monday, and am looking forward to it again in the near future. Brilliant atmosphere. Definitely worth it from our point of view!

Transylvanian Open in the German part of Rumania... was good fun last time I was there so looking forward to going back

Looking forward to the sprint/middle weekend in the lakes, the Edinburgh weekend and the Tamar Tripple.

Am also thinking hard about the JWOC week in Denmark.

And is there likely to be a Purple Thistle this year?

Yes, details coming soon once I've nailed the final permissions, but looking to be a treat, the usual quality terrain and tough courses on the doorstep with a campsite on the map.

Put it in your diary, 14/15 August, nearest airport Inverness, public transport available to the campsite if you want to leave the car at home.

JK. Close to where I grew up, never been there to orienteer.
PT. Miles from where I grew up. If its where I think it is, I've never been there either.

and the events I'm planning, the Chasing Sprint and Scottish Sprints (assuming I ever get out of the fog at LCY)

[Spookster]

As a competitor:
Urban League races (especially London and Sheffield)
Venice Street Race
JK

and then hopefully either WMOC, North American Orienteering Festival, or something else equally good abroad...

And as an organiser: Northern Champs.

Most looking forward to:
In the UK:
Spring tests at Touch, Trossachs & the JK. Hope I am bad ass enough to cope with the crazy variety of those 6 races within 10 days!!!

Then real challenging, NM night champs on this map:

And of course always excited for THE BIG RELAYS
Tio Mila, with new Swiss runner in Wing can we beat mine or Lene's PBs (5th or 8th)?
JUKOLA will be party central -it's always extra fun when a big football tournament is in progress.. just a shame none of the Scandis qualified! Anyway we have to beat Wing Venla record from 2009 of 11th. It will be more technical and intense than ever!

Most exciting that I'm not going to:
North American Orienteering Festival!
Would love to run the Whistler village sprint. Maybe this is cheating though??

The British Middle Distance Champs. Haverthwaite should make an excellent venue for this.
O Ringen.
EPOC's street race around Holmfirth.
and, of course, as ever, the JK. Doesn't matter where it is, it's still the JK.

[Becks]

Providing my appointment is finally sorted, I am in eager anticipation of the US Team Trials. Harriman here I come! Kitch and Graeme - you'd better be right about this one!

FVO touch/trossachs weekend

not going to the jk

as an organiser - PWT, it's going to be amazing

[Scott]

And arrangements for the JK are looking like it'll be even better then expected

But what on earth are you doing all on your lonesome on M21L? Man up*!
*and get more Braunton for your money

[ba-ba]

Fancied a lie-in on day 3!

[Scott]

Can't argue with that .
