Route to Christmas: Day 14

Posted by Jan Kocbach, 14 Dec 2007@8:00

Todays leg is leg 8 from the long distance at the Junior World Orienteering Champs in Australia this year. The route choice drawing + splits is prepared by Christian Bobach - thanks a lot to Christian! - Australian granit terrains kan make som realy good route choice legs - like the 8th leg on this years long distance at JWOC in Australia, Christian commented after reading Neil Barr’s comment on Route to Christmas Day 9: - None of the events on our more technical granite and mining terrains produced interesting route choice outcomes..

As you can see below - Christian run this leg - and did not choose the optimal route choice…

First take a look at the map without routes - and think about how you would attack this leg (if the image is too small, you may click on it to get it larger - click again to make it small again):

Then you can take a look at how the runners who have drawn their route choice solved this leg:

Yes, one of the best legs on an Australian course in 2008. JWOC wasn’t on our Gadget so I didn’t report it. I ran the same leg in the spectator race and made the same sub-optimal choice as Christian!
