HeadCam runner for both all three videos is Matthieu Puech. For the long distance Mr. HeadCam run in 26 minutes – 8 minutes slower than Thierry Gueorgiou. This included mistakes at the 3rd and 6th control. To the first control he was 30 seconds slower than Annika Billstam – the winner of the womens class.
For the WOC Middle distance qualification Mr. HeadCam run through the women’s qualification heat A with a time just around the winning time of Minna Kauppi. In the video you also see Eric Perrin (course setter of the long distance final and qualification) who started at the same time and run one of the other qual heats. Note that there were unfortunately no controls in the forest – and there are some small inaccuracies for the GPS in some places. Still you should understand a lot about how it is in the forest. As you can see, there is a lot of running and paths were all you have to do is to keep the speed high – and then you have to get your speed down in the forest were the runnability is variable – in some areas even very bad.
