Janet, I am a disaster at navigating the WOC website! Do you know what time the races start?
Edit: I really am very tired. Found it!

7 AM EDT women, 8:55 EDT men (sorry, I could have listed this earlier). :-)
Team numbers, if you're watching on TV (I haven't been, just checking live results), are 19 US women, 20 Canadian women, 125 Canadian men, 127 US men. Those of you looking for other countries will have to go to the link above.

Could this be Canada's top relay result with the women tomorrow?
For the Canadian men, 3 men in their prime years, time to move up the standings.

Women start in 45 minutes. Was all blue sky an hour ago, raining now, who knows this afternoon. Mountain weather.

Some struggling at the forked 4th control by the next bunch. Seems like some got drawn into the wrong one.

Emily still at position 11 at 2nd radio control; passed GER and was passed by Karia Lajn of POL

Wow, more struggling - Finland in particular went to 9 before 8, then back to 8

What are the thick white lines with black borders in the north/east part of the map? Sorry, noob question
Jul 12, 2014 11:39 AM
#
Not a noob question, it's not often you have a map with trenches from WWI!

@laurenbaade, don't apologize for not knowing something! (relevant xkcd)

ndobbs this is the first day the web tv has actually worked well for me. what's wrong with yours?
Jul 12, 2014 12:11 PM
#
What the.. has anyone else got the 'live' TV, but it is live speaking but video from mid first leg, not live or matching the commentary?

Alex punched in position 19 at Radio 3. Still near the group RUS FRA POL
Jul 12, 2014 12:21 PM
#
svt has commentary that matches the pictures - they are going through legs 1 and 2 quickly and will catch up with 'live' sometime in leg 3
Jul 12, 2014 12:34 PM
#
Ooh, three leading teams all together now with only the unforked bit left! This is gonna hurt!
Jul 12, 2014 12:40 PM
#
The end of the last leg has to be unforked, but they won't know where that starts. They'll probably guess that it's after the arena.

Maja Alm split from the group and taking the (probably) better route alone.

Ah.
I like DEN route left better than SWE SUI.
Edit: but I was wrong it seems

There's a road up there that is on the printed maps. Wish someone would share a photo from yesterday so we could see exactly where it goes.

Looks to be a SUI - DEN head to head sprint ... woah, over before it even started.
Jul 12, 2014 2:32 PM

Darren dropped some time at the end, changed over in 26th... on track for top 25? Come on, Conor!
Jul 12, 2014 2:50 PM
#
Surprised no-one has dropped to the road 15-16 (especially someone who thinks they might have to take a risk to break a pack up - or maybe everyone in this race thinks they can outsprint the others?).

Wouldn't want to have to sprint Bostrom in the finish, but Olav seemed happy enough.

It's a shame that they cut coverage while many teams are still out there. They must have records of the countries people come from when they pay for the stream - even just leaving the camera at the finish while people come in would be a nice thing to do. It's totally understand that stv or YLE would finish very soon, but the paid stream should continue.

Agh, 1s behind BEL, 27th... should be enough for Div 2 next year. Well done, lads!
Jul 12, 2014 3:27 PM
#
It is.
As I've posted on the other thread, Kowalski coming through to 12th means that Poland survive (subject to confirmation) by the narrowest possible margin.

Eric Bone finishes in 28th! Awesome run! When is the last time US men beat Canada in the WOC relay?
Jul 12, 2014 3:45 PM
#
Eric, thank you! Beat all you could catch, for more needed just wings :)

Good job by both the USA men's and women's team. Thought it was going to be a very long day when Sam was DFL at the first radio, but she had an amazing rest of her run. And for legs two and three, we were right there with the teams we should be with, but often haven't been in the past.
And good for the men too, especially Ethan's solid run (and punching all the controls -- it's now been enough days since Trento that we can razz him about it… :-) ), and then ditto for Eric, finishing it off very nicely.
I hope and assume we'll see more details on the USA Team Blog, which has been just great this year -- thanks Cristina!
