@Amanda: The recommended winning times are not “superman-times”, but winning times, so definitely a problem if they are too far off…

If we consider “superman’s” time, it is quite close to the recommended winning times of the middle distance, so no too many problems observed here.

I have talked with the course setter after the competition and he told me that he actually wanted to shorten the cources, but it was not really possible, because there were too many constrains. He wanted to move the start uphill somewhat, but couldn’t get permission for that, the finish was given and even the TV controls were given. Under these circumstances it would have only been possible to shorten the courses in a manner that really decreased their quality.

One thing is clear after the individual races – the coursesetter doesn’t seem to have much of a clue about the winning times of the competitions. But really challenging and exciting courses anyway…
