So Kris got a late call-up to the European Cross Countries today (replacing Andy Vernon)...
...and started off quite slowly at the back of the impressive field...
...but kept speeding up...and speeding up..
...and came 12th in the end, 2nd Brit and ahead of all sorts of really good people...
...which got him a team Silver Medal!

Re: Kris does it again
The BBC replay is worth watching for Kris' permagrin at the prizegiving (around 14:47)

Re: Kris does it again
CHRIS NEEDS TO WORK ON A FANCY MOUSTACHE AND / OR HAT COMBO TO MAKE HIM EASIER TO PICK OUT. NEEDED A BIT OF NATIONALISTIC COMMENTATING TO PICK UP THE FACT THAT HE WAS PULLING THROUGH , AS TV Naturally focused on the leaders and he didn't show on the count back until late on. Still great effort from him , he judged it well , unlike the lad who was with the leaders early on then faded 40 places. Still that's running . Only 3 to count as well , when did that happen, sure it used to be more.

Re: Kris does it again
Note to all cross-country captains , if you expect mud underfoot, deduct at least 3s a kilometre from any orienteer's projected time. Oh, and also some of them know how to pace themselves too! Great run Kris.

Re: Kris does it again
Is this the same race currently headlining on the BBC News website?

Fantastic run from Kris, very well judged. Also spotted Maja Alm running for Denmark, 18th in the women's race.

Re: Kris does it again
The whole competition is on the "Red" button, 3hrs 30mins of coverage with all the races, Under 20 M&W, Under 23 M&W, Women Senior, Men Senior and Mixed Relay, skip to 2hrs 30ish for the Mens race if that all you want to see.

Re: Kris does it again
Good run from Kris again on a very fast course. However as far as Steve Cram is concerned he might as well be the invisible man. I wonder if he has a clue who he is, second counter again I think. Really great
performance.
performance.

Re: Kris does it again
Shame results for the men's race results in the following:
"BlobNotFoundThe specified blob does not exist. RequestId:fccc606b-e01e-00f7-2594-aaa1d3000000 Time:2019-01-12T16:35:48.4518812Z"
Not sure who the missing blob is?
PS Scottish Interdistricts - Girls race, 2nd Megan Keith, 3rd Pippa Carcas.

Also should mention the Scottish Students men's team - 6 are orienteers, including 4 of 6 counters...

Re: Kris does it again
Really good effort by Kris, shame that running well gets no mentions. Also the juniors and students.
Nobody wanted to go with Hillary B , but he still won despite going the wrong way...
