It is evident from GPS tracking that he has no idea of where he is when he arrives at Georgiou’s control #19. It is clear that this is in violation of competition rule 1.2 which says that one should “navigate and run through the terrain
independently”

I also think that to reduce the problem of following, starting order should be the reverse of the current WRE ranking. This has several advantages:

1. Runners starting after each other will be at about the same
level. Hence, change of catching up with the runners
ahead will be smaller.

2. Runners being caught will be less satisfied with just
following. E.g, if Lundanes was caught by Georgiou, he
would probably try to get away in order to have a chance
to beat him.

3. If someone still get a good result by following, they
would have “earned it” through good results in previous
races.
