Interesting looking area. Look like there will be some long times.

[Spookster]

Yes, Hector is 48 for 5.6km, so 16 km is going to be well over 2 hours.

[Spookster]

Looks like the first radio on the women's course has stopped working, but Tessa is through radio2 in the best time so far.

Men's race voided apparently

Good run from Tessa in 5th place

Got their money's worth there then! Good runs for Tess and Hector, just think what our WOC long athletes would have done

[mrmoosehead]

So why has the men's race been voided? Can't see anything on the site.
Lots of mps though.

Dead control?

Organizer removed controls 21-22 before 9 last men had passed

Oops

Apparently someone collecting spectator race controls picked up a couple of extra controls by mistake - 21 and 22 on the men's course.

Oops

not ideal given how the system works now..

Nice 22 degrees here in Murcia today. Terrain pretty tricky.

[Spookster]

Another great run by Tess - 7th today in the Middle distance.

[graeme]

Tessa two and a half minutes down. Of which nearly four were lost in the first section She's fastest over the rest of the course...

Hector a solid 22nd, 4:30 down.

but what was happening with Cat? She seemed to set off OK each day.
