Additional Information
There may be artificial barriers out on the courses. The barriers will not be marked on the ground and thus it is up to you to make sure you abide by them. See an example of barriers in play below.
It goes without saying that a headtorch is required and don’t forget your dibber.
EUOC have some spare dibbers, compasses & headtorches that you can borrow, just send us an email.
Twist (Long Only) – Chasing Start!
Explanation
This week’s twist is a Chasing Start!
Everyone taking on the long course is required to turn up at 1900. Prior to the evening, I will have assigned everyone a start time (or start offset) based on previous sprint performances completed this FWTN. (I potentially may use ranking points instead but we will see how I get on). If you have not been to a sprint FWTN this year so far, I will use ranking points and my best judgement on where to slot you into the start order. Any EODs will likely be set off with or after the final person setting off.The first person to the finish (who does not self report an MP or similar) will be declared the winner and win a physical prize of some description. (The way the results will be added to the overall league are TBD).
