few additional info aboute the race (since i was course setter…)
-Slope north of the hill at the middle of the leg (where Bürge run) was pretty slow and hard to run but the best time on the leg (9’12”) was made on this route
– route of Castelli was good too, since the first climb was good runnable
another interesting route was the one of D20 or HAK, which had a lower start point and goes to an higher controls.
Good new year to all and to WoO=)
