WOC 2013

[Becks]

10th! Not that you'd know it from the stupid commentary.

Fantastic running Cat!

Well done Cat and Helen, now come on Ralph!

What's the idea with number 7 on the mens the only viable route looks to be south with a big dog leg at 6 then path run and look at the other legs with real choices.

Ralph just on the TV, just behind Nordst???

[Lard]

If he works with Norberg there's a good chance of a top 10

You are meant to gamble your WOC position on finding a runnable strip in the marsh along the river north of the straight line, and then finding a quick route across the semi-open hills at the end.

The forest has to be awfully fast for 13-14 not to be another kilometre on a path. And then the men have the same leg as the women 16-17 with another option for several kilometres on paths/roads.

Overall it looks a slightly odd course.

[Becks]

Not sure about 12-13, Sorensen seems to be pulling away from Nordberg and Ralph by going out to the road.

Lakanen going left 16-17...

Ralph beats Merz on run in

[Patrick]

Well done Ralph! An excellent 2nd half, and he could well have won the run-in competition...

[plain lazy]

Brilliant sprint finish from Ralph to finish ahead of Merz (but sadly 6 mins down on him). Sitting 8th with 20 still to finish, good enough time for top 25?

[Lard]

Not bad for a wee lad!
He really has done good. Another positive performance for the team.

[plain lazy]

The Norwegian Magne Dæhli just put in a blistering last leg to take the lead... amazing after 100mins running!

[Lard]

5 min/k for 20k.... Phew!
