Re: WMOC 2014 Brazil
Well done all - I was expecting Eddie H to be in the mix but maybe he is saving the best till later.

maybe because it was in terrain that didn't match the specification in the rules?
Looks like the view from the start was rather extraordinary too

Re: WMOC 2014 Brazil
The M95 course looks a fair sized "Sprint" (0.9km I think it said) as it is the same length as M85.
Let's hope he can get round the "Long" too.

He did both in Italy last year so but had to pull out of the Long in Hungary having won the sprint. It was the heat in Hungary that caused Rune problems as i recall not the distance. N.B. my memory on this may be a bit suspect as I woke up in the medical tent on a drip that day.
hop fat boy, hop!

Re: WMOC 2014 Brazil
Can anyone enter World Masters or do you need to be selected? I'm curious as it looks like a great week of orienteering and one day I'd like to experience it.
