Congrats to all but especially to the hydro electric oldschool joykok, as well as miss m. I'm not sure how much of an "interesting selection" speake is for the relay given his recent performances tho!

Looks like a great mix of youth & experience, bring on Japan I say.

Crackin' effort guys, Well done to all who got selected! esp. Mhairi after her injury - thats one hell of a way to bounce back!

Good to see the 'new skool' of Joykok, speake et al into the team. All set up to be an exciting WOC in nippon!

What do people think about Matt Crane missing out?

by **harry** » Thu Jun 30, 2005 10:58 am

about matt crane missing out?

gutting. the results don't speak for what actually happened.

by El » Thu Jun 30, 2005 11:39 am

Ditto. Gutting has to about the only way to describe and even that doesn't come close.
But then prob not fair to get into discussion of individual people - I'm sure everyone who missed out was disappointed.
Sort of comes with the territory of being that dedicated to anything. If it all pays off you're on top of the world and if it goes a bit pear-shaped then it feels like the whole world's crashed in on you. You've got to admire the people that take on that risk, and who deal with the disappointment to bounce back (which I'm sure is something none of them are thinking about right now but which I'm equally sure will happen).

Thought it might be down to funds but others have been picked for 1 distance. Disappointed for him - he's having a terrific year. :cry:

Congratulations to all those in the team, and commisterations to those who missed out.

Great news that Speakey is in the relay team.

The most impressive thing has to be Mhairi though, before the selection races she has only done a handfull of orienteering, and running, since she injured her ankel at O-ringen last year and again in December. Only extreme mental strength can bring a person through like that.

Lilywhite, hard luck, just remember that you have youth on your side
