The first annual World Championships of Extra Long Orienteering, raced by Andy, Glenn and myself.
A course set by Andy, involving the joining of 5 maps Balls Head, Tunks Park, West Chatswood, Blackman Park and Lane Cove River. The course has 126 controls and was raced 10 controls at a time, with the winner of each race given a point.
It was bloody hot and humid and we were all saturated in sweat by the end of the first race.
We all struggled at different times but the 2L of slurpy, and cheese burger at 2/3rds of the way was refreshing and much needed.
Andy and i continued onto the last 2 maps, where the pace was still hot and the race came down to the last race.
Final results:
Prong 6
Andy 4
Glenn 3
Splits: 20'20, 15'01, 15'57, 17'34, ?10, 14'53, 21'40, 21'40, 19'05, 15'48, 12'15, 7'02, 14'42, 5'26
