bogglingly rocky. at least there won't be too many "wrong flags" to draw you astray, I just hope that the different sizes of boulder are clear on the ground otherwise people could record my sort of time!

Too bad we want have live tracking could of been very amusing.

GPS tracking for both boy's and girl's A finals today but fortunately not shown live.

Looks horrible and given the course lengths (3.0/3.6, i.e. the same as the sprint) it can't be all that runnable - current leader is on 8.5 mins/km

[Lard]

The courses look great, not as challenging as I'd first expected but plenty to put you off, parallel error on. Our guys should enjoy this, navigating by what's under the black dots - ie using the contours and other features to help you get into the circle. It's a fast finish if you're brave enough too!
Go GBR!

Yes, but the current leader is quicker than they predicted. They predicted winning time of 27 mins, so they thought it would be 9 mins/km for the women.

Klingon over a minute down on the first radio - potential for Charlotte to see her by Radio 2? Maybe let's see Charlotte's first radio time before I say anything else!

You spoke too soon. Bad news for Charlotte.

Looks like Zoe found it tough as well, and will struggle to stay inside the top 30.

Fingers crossed for Lucy...

Sounds like a coach who knows what he is talking about speaking; the terrain reminds me of the world vets in 1992, beaches, boulders and bush!

Ouch! Charlotte hasn't started well but now with Klysner her 2 minute lady who has the potential to medal which still could mean a top 15 for Charlotte....

Yep, if they can help each other spot controls behind boulders, that could work.

[Spookster]

Lucy is right on it at radio 1.

[Lard]

Yep, and only 50 seconds behind Basset of France - they might be together soon...

[Lard]

As I mentioned - Klysner through the 2nd radio in 2nd place.
Unfortunately, Charlotte not with her - has dropped another 2 minutes to her. On track for a top 40 now - but is gutsy enough to get this back under 30...

[Lard]

Basset has improved so Lucy still on her ownsome but still going strong at 2nd radio!
