Anyone know anything about Ketil? Ex- Strathclyde from way back when ... even before AROS was founded. I remember he used to run in a normal shirt.... he suddenly popped into my mind a few minutes ago as I thought 'might as well wear my normal shirt' for my morning jogette Statistics: Posted by Gross — Mon Jul 22, 2024 5:05 am ..read more

Come back to this late, having been away.... All fair comment from rf_fozzy. Just a couple of push backs to try and pin things down. Suggestion (2) was made assuming that a handful of blank maps was available (as a planner or controller, I always ask for/expect to have half a dozen printed off for just such and other similar situations). Then would just need manually drawing on - easier to relate to and retain in the mind than a written description. Under (4), I appreciate that there will have been different controls on different courses. Each course would have needed a separate note. I've ..read more

I think it's happened to some degree at all the World Cup KO Sprints in the last couple of years. The only slight issue I'd perhaps take in this instance is that normally the artificial barriers are mapped with the purple lines with cross-hatching behnind. In this case, olive green was used, which is more difficult to spot, and perhaps unexpected? I u ..read more

There's a meeting between the organisers and teams the night before the race where this kind of thing is explained. For the relay they were mainly concerned about exactly how fast the white/green forest was (answer: slower than Friday thanks to all the rain on Saturday) Statistics: Posted by graeme — Thu Jul 18, 2024 7:15 pm ..read more

It's just that Tove and co. found an even worse route running all the way round the school past #2. Statistics: Posted by graeme — Thu Jul 18, 2024 7:12 pm ..read more

Hi Snail and Forest Grump Clarification on the distance from assembly to the Red start. 400m downhill back to the main road 700m flat passed the parking to the turn off 350m with 55m climb to the red start. If you are coming instead from the overflow parking instead your walk along the road could be up to 1.8k in a worst case scenario. Hope this helps Pete Co-organiser day 5 Statistics: Posted by ribbo — Thu Jul 18, 2024 11:17 am ..read more

Looked to me like Megan lost a medal through a path which was open in the KOS semi-final being closed again for the Final. Full credit to her for being the only one to take the best north route on the E-W leg in the final away from the veterans residence.

Snail wrote: Probably already spotted, but the provisional final details have identical course length and climb (on every course!) for Days 3 & 4. For Day 5 it would be helpful to know the max distance / climb from Assembly to Red Start. I noticed this too. Did you email the organisers?
