Italian 5 Day - entry help needed

[stodge]

We're off to the Italian 5 Day this summer after being inspired by Craneys talk at our club dinner, but I still need to be careful with my feet

Looking at the course details, my options as a 21 are E, A, B, C, K and open beginner. It gives distances but no indication of TD.

The K is longer than the C, but in foreign events K tends to indicate Short, so does this mean that C is technically easier? (If this is the case, what is the open beginner? Even easier?)

I want to enter a short, technical as poss course. Which one should I enter - C or K? I need to know ASAP - entries go up next week!

BTW the event looks fab, some of the maps are mind boggling http://www.5days2006.info/images/gos/mappe/Monte%20Livata.gif

Nick Taylor ran (and won) the K course last year and he said that it was technically challenging, it was certainly no easier than the longer courses.

I'm afriad I can't give you any info on the C, but I would probably still recommend K.

Last year's event was great, and I'm going again this year. See you there!!

K is tha class I run at the O-ringen which is just short - not easier than the long.

A few years ago at O Ringen Elizabeth Brown running W80 won every day... she got 5 litres of cleaning fluis, a wood choping act, a rug and a couple of other things

a wood choping act,

would that be one of the Bavarian style ones with men in Lederhosen - because I know for a fact that Mrs H. would like to win one of those
