Here you don’t analyse 12 & 13 on the W course, (or those legs on the mens) so when you ask “where to cut” that seems to be part of the answer. It is so interesting how the mistakes come later when the runners are tired and pushing for te finish, even though it looks easier.

I do agree that with the chosen concept with the same finish for all three races, it would have been tricky to not compromise qualify for the women’s course when cutting… But still, a bit too long. And the men’s, it would have been possible to cut.

Running 45mins is 11th in women and 18th in men.

Both courses are around ~5mins too long for the winner.
