grand raid des pyrénées

Postby Philip Barnes » Fri Aug 21, 2015 1:54 pm

For those who may be interested:
Digby is currently on this little jaunt (160km 10,000+m ascent) and his progress is:

182nd at CP1
117th at CP2
79th at CP3

I suspect his final position will be considerably higher :)

Yes, very interesting online. Our boy is now 21st at CP7 which is at km101.
There are a couple of members of my orienteering club SROC on it too. Karen Nash is 57th and approaching CP7 and Tony Marlow was 115th at CP6. Karen's GPS shows up on the map too. There are only seem to be a selection.
I see Tim Laney, a KIMM and LAMM Elite regular and sometimes partner of Mark Hartell, is in there too - 93rd at CP6.
Time for sleep, so they will be all home or nearly home by the time we are having breakfast.

Better than following the football results this afternoon, though Phil C might disagree.
Digby has finished in 10th position in 29hrs 26mins out of 573 starters. Winner took 26.00. A fantastic performance. Congratulations!
Karen Nash was 41st in 34.25. She was pipped for 3rd woman place by only 2mins 12 sec. Congratulations to her too.
