Today’s edition of “January Classics” as a tip from Daniel Hubmann: The World Cup race in Dresden in 2004. The map for this race was special in that there was an “inset” with larger scale for the most tricky area.
This was a very varied course – some parts were you could run really fast – other parts were you had to slow down a lot (like in the inset in the butterfly). Also several route choice legs. I run here myself (in the regular elite class), and got really challenged in the butterfly area.
PS! When asked about his favourite map back in 2011, this was Hubmann’s answer as one of the alternatives.
Is the best route from 7 to 8 covered by the cut-out?
Interesting question. Also interesting to know if the cut-out was presented in this way on the competition map. I think I’d go like Hubmann did on 7-8, but would be nice to know what is below the cut-out.
