Two times Switzerland in Spring Cup: Daniel Hubmann and Vroni König-Salmi won the classic distance in Spring Cup 2010 today. Below you get link to replay of the TracTrac tracking, maps and results.
Hubmann had more than two minutes down to number two – Woijech Kowalski (Poland) starting two minutes ahead of Hubmann. Third and fourth were further Swiss runners – Baptiste Rollier and Matthias Merz. In the womens class, Danish Maja Alm was very close to König-Salmi – the two being far ahead of the rest of the field.
Map and courses
The courses had quite a few controls in dark green areas – making the courses technically challenging. However, running speed was important as always in Spring Cup. The ideal route choice was mostly close to the line – the winner of the mens class Daniel Hubmann did seldom depart much from the straight line between the controls (see the TracTrac replay to see Hubmann’s route along with 9 other men and the route of 5 women provided by TracTrac). Above you see a scaled-down version of the mens course from the classic distance. Here are further maps:

Relay training
Many clubs use Spring Cup as part of their training for the big relays 10Mila and Jukola. As a consequence of this, Spring Cup now has two relays on the program: A night relay on Friday evening and the traditional day relay on Sunday. Some runners will even skip the individual race on Saturday, and only run the two relays (e.g. Anne Margrethe Hausken according to OPN.no).

We will try to deliver maps and results from the events during the weekend. If you don’t find anything at the front page of World of O, take a look here:
