WOC 2013

[SIman]

Yep!! Ian was right - 10 Euros for a complete disaster!!

No, for us it was money well spent and GPS, video and commentary all good. It was the free results and splits that failed.

Any update on what Murray did SIMAN? I havent got the video and missed the starts - got my times mixed up again!

(Looking at the splits he was 3rd fastest from control 9 to the finish so he must have been going some after whatever happened at 9)

Looked like a bit of running off the map occured. Bullet dodged.

I'm a lucky muppet. Qualified, just, despite running off the map, running to the wrong control, and some general headless chickenry. Jeez.

Anyone know who the support team are at WOC (and were at JWOC)?

You could look under 'selections' on the BOF website.... but you won't find an answer. You won't even find an answer to the question 'who's in the WOC team'

What did Spookster say in FOCUS.... key is communication.... not a good start

But never mind the politics.... take inspiration from Andy Murray & kick ass in Finland.... and if Murray stops pretending he outrunning a bunch of Edinburgh Neds he might do quite well

JWOC I believe was Sarah Hague, Jackie Newton, Dave Sprot (physio), Jeff Butt.
WOC dunno, although pretty sure at least Steve Vernon is there.

The WOC support team is Dave R, Liz C, Kim, and Steve arriving soon (today I think).

@Gross: Don't know why the WOC selections aren't on the Selections page, but they're still on the Home page, and here.

Thanks for the info.

When you look at the Programme page of the Performance section of the BO website you understand why getting WOC selections on the selection page is too much effort.

Have a look - it's pretty much completely out of date. I would be embarrassed about that.

As someone said, communication is everything!

Strange that the Performance Lead is not in attendance for the complete championships. I'd have thought input in qualification races was as - if not more - important than finals. Dave R, Liz C & Kim all know what they are doing so maybe it's not an issue.

Kick ass.................

I'm not sure input from the performance lead on the day of a race is a necessarily a good idea. Not their job in my opinion. Perhaps a personal coach who knows the athlete well might have something to input but probably best to leave well alone.

At a recent world schools champs one of the coaches decided to hold a team talk on the morning of the race and one of my athletes almost missed her start because of it!!

Would love to know which way Cat went to number 3 - she blew them apart! Real shame it was just the men on the tracking.

He / she is obviously clueless & shouldn't have been there........
