WOC Middle Final

The Middle Final took place today in Darnaway. The terrain seemed to be quite varied (rough with poor visibility in the beginning and more runnable near the end). Lots of athletes were making mistakes, and were saying it was trickier than expected. The maps can be found here (women's) and here (men's)

Men's Map

Damian Konotopetz and Brian May were running in the men's race, and Louise Oram and Emily Kemp were running in the women's race. The official results can be found here, and splits can be found here.  We haven't heard from the athletes yet about their runs.
