Official standings are at the Carol's Team site

Here is my analysis.


Absolute All standings


Andy Dale (M40+), ECKO (currently 40th in overall standings)

Kevin Teschendorf (M50+), BGR (currently 134th in overall standings, not qualified)

Maricel Olaru (M-21+), CAOC (currently 44th in overall standings)

Anna Shafer-Skelton (F-21+), SLOC *84.4*(1) (currently 40th in overall standings, not qualified)

Linda Danskanen (F), SLOC *78.9*(2) (currently 52nd in overall standings, not qualified)

Natalia Deconescu (F55+), CAOC *74.9*(3) (currently 22nd in overall standings)




By course analysis is here As always (!) and (!!) means 7.5% and 15% above the estimate for this runner, and (?), (??) correspondingly below.

Additional mark {new} was added recently. It shows runners whose name mentioned first time this year and therefore their score is not reliable due to lack of data.


Blue/Red Sprint results uneventsful. Sprint terrain was simple @ 500 GV/km


Blue Middle terrain was almost twice slower that Sprint (870 GV/km)

Red Middle as about the same speed-wise

Arvid Jasper and James Mullin can be mentioned as best performers


Green-to-Orange Sprint was about the same speed-wise as Blue Sprint (500)

There was number of significant errors and Improvement by runners with !! and ??


Green Middle produced TOO many exceptional results in both positive and negative directions. Apparently there was something tricky. Same can be said about Brown. and Fundraiser Sprint.

Anybody who participated can comment?

Hawn produces extreme results. I think the terrain is deceptively simple. It's very easy to outrun your navigation there. If you get away with it, you have a great run. If not, well...

Such results are more common on Green and Brown. The shorter legs and courses make it somewhat more likely to not get punished for being too loose while a single bad mistake is obviously that much more damaging in a shorter event.
