WOC Long

[andy]

what's the estimated winning time? if the guys so far are going through 15 in 76 as fastest, they ain't getting near 90!

urgh, never mind, the 76 mins control isn't 15 like the control descriptions seem to suggest, it's 17 (or 16 or 18, who knows!)

[Scott]

IOF Rules say 70-80mins for women, 90-100mins for men; the organisers are estimating 75 for women and 95 for men.

On TracTrac Minna has just gone north for the long leg - everyone else being tracked went south

(although I think TracTrac has lost lots of them, so maybe she's not the only one? looks like most of the tracking has packed up)

[greywolf]

all the men through the first radio and JS in 13th, but it's really close in the places ahead of him...

and davidik has passed a lot in the middle of the race

[andy]

Scotia through 3rd radio in 7th, 2mins ahead of Oli

radio punch data seems to be a bit off as well as tractrac, Smola is through 4th radio, but not 3rd...

[greywolf]

JS in 2nd (up 6 down 1) at the second radio control 4s behind Merz

got to be top 6 at this point

could be that those radio's are on the butterfly loops, so don't necessarily do them in the right order?

[SYO Member]

NE to the village and along the road has got to be the quickest route from 15 and 16 on Men's. Will be interesting to see the splits and whether any of the top few went south from 15.

[mikey]

Jamie going really well.

Brilliant.

why would you put radios on a butterfly loop

Jamie 5th at 4th radio - top 3 are 2mins ahead though

[Spookster]

Great run from Jamie, but it'll be a top 10 (hopefully), not a podium place.

[greywolf]

hubmann leading now....

[andy]

argh, Jamie tried to miss out a control, then realised after losing over a minute

probably would have been just outside the medals anyway, but tough mistake to make

[Patrick]

Really glad to see Hubmann get the victory - he's been so consistent over the last few years but never getting the big win. Bad luck for Jamie to miss out on the podium again. He'll be cursing that error at the TV control, which may have cost him a top 5 place.

Congrats to Francois Gonon too...I bet not many people predicted that one. And talking of predictions, after what I said yesterday about Minna I think I'll be keeping my mouth shut from now on!

I would say a good British long final, but so nearly very good. Jamie certainly lost a podium place near the end and Scottie also had a big time loss here even though 21st is good.

A fantastic week for Sarah - top 20 in all three disciplines
