Looks like the times are a lot longer than expected winning times.

Khramov already 6mins down at first radio control, but still in front of Mikkel Lund (4th in sprint race)

[distracted]

Novikov has just finished with a group of 5 other runners including Carsten Jorgensen, GG and Rob.

JD leading his heat at the mo

and Oli's just finished 2nd in his

Looks tough out there, even Simone 4 minutes off the expected winning time...

[El]

Not such a good day for our girls from the looks of things. Just Sarah qualified for the final.

[Supersaint]

All womens heats have finished now. It would appear there are very different heats - 3 winning times 51,54 and 58. Sarah Rollins is the only Brit to qualify in 7th place on Heat 2.

Couldn't find Claire Ward or Jenny Whitehead in the results, maybe didn't start.

[Crispy]

Anyone know what happened to Clare? She appeared on the first radio control early on, but is not on any of the finish lists now.

[mat-d]

yeah she finished with the first few, but the commentator soon mentionted that she might have MP'd!
I think her time was quite quick though.

[guest]

Anyone know what happened to Jenny W?

[distracted]

Craney and Jamie pulled a lot back after the first radio control - looks like all the guys except Rob should have qualified!

[El]

Good day for the guys

[mharky]

out there...

All the Men except Rob, confirmed

[Neil M35]

A good set of results from the British lads. 5 qualifiers from GBR, only 3 from Norway, 4 from Sweden. And as any Teessider will tell you, getting to the final is an achievement in itself.

[Seamus]

Got news back from my sister out in Estonia last night. The forest are not the best and they are tracking up for the later runners. So I have not had a look at the results to see if that is true.

She may be coming down with a slight cold, which won't help.

[gg]

jenny has a slight cold and didnt run, rach still suffering with hayfever

the forest was pretty mingin and everybody was all over the place

i thought i was screwed but was actually comfortable despite being caught 6 mins

[little slave]
