Tio Mila

[Big Jon]

We also have Josh Beech on 1st and Willy Gardner on 3rd for OK Södertörn, and Anal Cherry on last for Varegg.

Thats not very nice - in any way of reading it

Olexander Kratov (OK Orion) went out in 52nd place, 9:12 down on the leaders.
at the first radio, he was in 57th, 8:34 down.
at radio 2, he was 33rd, 4:29 down.
at radio 3 he was 4th, 1:41 down.
radio 4, 12th at 16s down.
He was 1st at the finish, towing a train 50 people and 1 minute long.
Monster.

Doug was in the train, 17s back in 26th.
Willy Gardner is currently in a pack with Tove.

Speaky stayed in the front pack on leg 2, finishing 5th after Kris came in 9th on 1st leg. Unfortunately their 3rd leg runner. after staying in the pack through the first 3 radios, has disappeared.

Fastest I think was Gernot Kerschbaumer who started in 71st and then finished alongside Kratov. Note this was an ungaffled leg and at the end of the previous one the top 23 had a 4 min lead which stretched to over 5 mins before the train got to full steam!

Has Tove mispunched, it looked like she was making some progress (positionwise, but not on time), but now it doesn't look so good.

Yep Kerschbaumer came from 9:57 back. Maybe he's the new king of the night!

and Doug Tullie from 9:47 back.

I reckon Kratov is still the man though! You want to get him as your OMM partner for next year Ba-Ba - definitely a beast.

Speaking of OMM ... on the same leg another 2 of the top 10 fastest were last year's Elite winners.

Looks like the women's dream team is running in around 55th place on leg 9, except that they're DSQ since leg 3 where presumably Tove mis-punched.

Edit: yes, she mispunched:

50 minutes went well, then took the energy out so it was a little tough . Next time I'll check the code numbers better #longnight #fail #retry?

[Spookster]

Another brilliant Tio Mila first leg by Kris Jones - back in 49th at one stage but came storming through in the last third. Only 45 seconds separating the top 30 though.

Great run by Matt Speak as well, talking that Lillomarka team up a place to 5th after 2 legs. Unfortunately it looks like their 3rd leg runner had to retire.

Doug commented that Kratov was driving the night train with "50 guys behind with maps in their pocket!"

Big Jon > Anyone who's run for them knows how massive this is for IFK, so much hard work over such a long time with so many near misses, all kicked off by Arto in the early 90's when he made Göteborg a serious elite club again with high ambitions at the same time the football team was winning in Europe and beating teams like Manchester United. The Champ would have been a very very proud man today.
