Swiss 5-day

[Doug T]

while the majority of brits are finding the going tough at the oringen its a different story in switzerland.

Peter Hodkinson tops the lists of brits with a good win in H16.George stevens makes it into the top 20 in 17th.
Rhodri seems to be on a roll after getting a silver at EYOC and again finished 2nd in H18 just a couple of seconds off the leader.
the tetts are doing well with tim 2nd in H45, and his son Robin is 5th in h14
Ben stevens and Dave Schorah are 10th and 13th respectively.
Clive hallett is 13th in h40 but only 4 minutes down.

Anne edwards was only three minutes down on Fanny welle strand Horn, in D18, to finish 3rd.
And similarly rose Hodkinson is placed third in D20.
they have obviously recovered well after their first jwoc.
in D45 Jackie hallett is in 10th ahead of fellow brit Christine Brown who is in 13th.

sorry if i missed anyone

Dougie - can you put up a results link? I've tried via the SOW page but can only get the reu;ts of the Prolog. Thanks

Kath broatch from ERYRI won the D40 course as well yesterday - by 2 minutes as well i think, a v. good start to her week...

what happens if you miss your starts? looks like the howes got the times wrong and got there an hour late? both clare and sarah seem to have times an hour slower than i'd have expected...

Results are there they just take a bit of finding.
http://www.solv.ch/cgi-bin/abfrage?year ... SOW+Prolog.

No good with links but follow the results tab from the top of the page of results of the prologue and you will get there eventually.

lizzie-no im not running but i was looking at results and since so many brits were doing well i though i'd put some results up.

[Lizi Beee]

Okies, well you're right, they are doing well! any results from today? I would look for myself but my sis has me under whip and chain (i'm being her DIY slave for a few days)

Day 1 Helen Bridle 9th in D21E
Monika Cooper 6th in D60

[Pingu]

look for me between half way and the bottom - some of these fella's are pretty damn speedy

nick barrable was 6th in the sprint prologue, and 29th yesterday (day 1) with myself a paltry 20 mins behind!!!

Unfortunately he musta had a 'mare today though - i was only 84 seconds behind...

I love how when you find Dave Schorah it says RETARD next to his name in big capital letters.

[Roger]

You can find results for all the RETARDs (and similarly for other clubs) via
http://www.solv.ch/cgi-bin/abfrage?type=rang&year=2006&event=SOW+Etappe+2&kind=club&club=RETARD
Replace SOW+Etappe+2 with SOW+Etappe+3 to get day 3 results, etc.

Add &zwizt=1 to the end of the web address to get split times.

Progressographs ('grafik') are also available. Although they're not as nice as the SplitsBrowser versions, the D18 graphs

and

neverthless make it abundantly clear that Fanny Welle-strand Horn is hellishly quick... and hellishly blunder-prone! More entertainment to come, I'm sure.

Best five races of six to score, using the 'old' Scottish 6-day format of 1000 for each day's winner.
