People running every where, wet cobble stones, possibility for collision. The sprint final had it all. The arena was the same as yesterday's qual but with a much more complicated start, run through and finish chute all in one.<br />
Today Tash was off first and took the pressure well. She did unfortunately mp at the run through when her emit didn't register her punch :(<br />
Krystal was off next and pushed hard all the way through the race. She was impressive through the spectator arena and finished well. Henry was next in the men and he too had an awesome run but said he was feeling tired. We are all super proud of all our sprinters today.<br />
<br />
Tomorrow is the sprint relay, the most exciting race of the week, (what?? The long is not exciting?) the team will be Krystal, Henry, Simon and Tash. Go team!<br />

The weather was not kind and at points it was pouring which meant for a very slippery course. Simon, Belinda and Brodie ran hard and only just missed out on the final. Congrats to Krystal, Henry and Tash who had amazing runs and finish in the top 15. Tash was actually equal 15th which was very nerve racking as we waited to see if she was in or not.<br />
We also had the opening ceremony after the qualification where the Estonian president opened WOC officially. Austria was a no show so Bridget was offered the Austrian flag for the March because " you are like Austria, can you carry?".<br />
Tomorrow the sprint final is in the afternoon so make sure you stay awake and cheer on the Aussies.<br />

<br />
The 2017 edition has been characterised by the "Contour Interval Dilema", much to Bridget's frustration. In bulletin 3 the contour interval for the middle distance was 2.5m and hence the team had been training on similar maps. NEWSFLASH: Bulletin 4 states contour interval is 5m. Bridget was originally annoyed but being the resilient person she is decided to head out today and train on a 5m contour interval map. NEWSFLASH: There is a mistake in bulletin 4 and the contour interval is in fact 2.5m. Bridget was irate, feeling much like the child in this video, out of control in a foreign place. The only thing that could fix her rage was Craney buying her an ice cream, much like the operator who steadied the young child at the end of the video.<br />

As it was St John's day in Estonia today we are going to introduce you to some of the quirky culture of Estonia.<br />
On the 22nd of June Estonian people celebrate St John's eve which is like their midsummer celebration. Estonians light bonfires and drink till the wee hours of the morning. During these celebrations it is customary for people to jump the bonfires and make a wish. I would guess that most people would just wish to make it to the other side.<br />
On this night people also head out into the forest to look for the elusive fern blossom which is suppose to bring good luck and fertility to those who find it. According to google no ferns flower, so that's probably why the Estonian population growth is slow.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Our best result was posted by Hanny, who finished in
21<sup>st</sup> position. She lost time early in the course - getting stuck in
thick vegetation on the way to the first control and taking some time to
convert to forest navigation after the previous sprint days. However she ran very
strongly and made up significant time during the mid and late parts of the
course. Anna made a return to WOC level competition with a 54<sup>th</sup>
place. Anna commented that she thought the map and course were good but didn’t
have the legs for racing today.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Overall, in the women’s event it was the experienced
athletes that dominated. The 5.3km course was won by 39 year old Annika
Billstam from Sweden, defending her title from 2014. Second place was taken by
Merja Rantanen from Finland and third by Emma Johansson from Sweden. The Great
British crowd enjoyed cheering Catherine Taylor into 5</span><sup style="font-family: inherit;">th</sup><span style="font-family: inherit;"> position.</span></div>

The Sprint Final is tonight and if the previous sprints are
any indication it should be fast paced and very exciting. Australia have two
runners competing, Rachel, starting at 4:53pm local time and Hanny, starting at
5:21.</div>

The competition area consists of a complex old town with many small lanes and several small areas of parkland and housing. To watch live, visit <a href="http://www.woc2015.org/info/sprint-final-forres">http://www.woc2015.org/info/sprint-final-forres</a><br /><div class="MsoNormal">

get you in the mood for some sprint racing. See if you can match the photo of

Two out of three sprints are over and they have been very
exciting! The sprint qualification on Friday night was an overall success, with
both Hanny (5<sup>th</sup>) and Rachel (15<sup>th</sup>) qualifying for the
final and the rest of the team having clean runs, only narrowly missing out on
the final. Both the mens’ and womens’ courses were quite similar, with a technical start in
a residential area followed by a long leg across to another loop through a
second residential area. Both areas consisted of irregular groups of houses with
narrow passageways between, which required quick thinking and route choice
analysis. The results in qualification were as follows:</div>

While the sun has not shown its face for more than a few minutes this week, the Australian team is full of smiling faces, as we begin to arrive in Inverness. Competitors, managers and coaches are arriving one by one, as they travel from Sweden, Norway, France, Australia and Italy, while some of our supporters arrive too (one supporter is walking the 120-odd kilometres from Fort William to Inverness - go mum!).<br /><br />To start with, its time for a quick little overview of our week so far. On Monday, most of the team had assembled in Inverness so in true athlete fashion we spent a lot of money on food at Tesco! In the evening the team took part in a sprint test race run by a Scottish orienteering club. The race was a fantastic way to prepare for the coming Sprint races and there was even a Quarantine.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC6J7r4x-gzZ1SYKU-6JJJJ5rHgeZ3a1VejvoPIitN4M2F5rsoRbWXZdSbHdIpQIYsM77eSUhzqhel9qw8oMgxnDGtP0vyWIIYrtkqCuzGgpcOOs2kybfIC7pZB5riKx9ZjFHLgwzkgYZM/s1600/P1000040.JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC6J7r4x-gzZ1SYKU-6JJJJ5rHgeZ3a1VejvoPIitN4M2F5rsoRbWXZdSbHdIpQIYsM77eSUhzqhel9qw8oMgxnDGtP0vyWIIYrtkqCuzGgpcOOs2kybfIC7pZB5riKx9ZjFHLgwzkgYZM/s320/P1000040.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbkyM5g-Avj5nRL5_eJWwOfhscaPsALxWYkAPHi29nQojzjUmqCfe4BRl-Pf_6NNlt0PMZvKUans0SFxPeWKsCyabj2-_7yzURH-oatLygTSWjug-JPIu4v8noGxNmwqMb1OQ7CCMCIaFk/s1600/P1000037.JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbkyM5g-Avj5nRL5_eJWwOfhscaPsALxWYkAPHi29nQojzjUmqCfe4BRl-Pf_6NNlt0PMZvKUans0SFxPeWKsCyabj2-_7yzURH-oatLygTSWjug-JPIu4v8noGxNmwqMb1OQ7CCMCIaFk/s320/P1000037.JPG" /></a><br /><br />On Tuesday the team headed out for two forest sessions, one in long terrain and one in middle terrain. Although it was a very wet day, the terrain was beautiful and at least there seemed to be less ticks! For a sneak peak of the middle training map check out @auswoc on Instagram (link below). Following this the team headed out to loch ness for some touristing, which would have not been a true Scottish experience without a taste of some Haggis and a trial of some "traditional" Scottish clothing.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1SIk1fgqoj3P29SAw8IRTzwNc8RXmFnZ4g8a02oXrlzSPhJwWY-F2r28uVx_luGWdSMqKYvamxOxnslIe8CBU9Rwax-IvSityBmKW__lJ0RFX0KAdPkGZr_d22jLcLCSAhzDAjqhjWv2w/s1600/IMG_4744.JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1SIk1fgqoj3P29SAw8IRTzwNc8RXmFnZ4g8a02oXrlzSPhJwWY-F2r28uVx_luGWdSMqKYvamxOxnslIe8CBU9Rwax-IvSityBmKW__lJ0RFX0KAdPkGZr_d22jLcLCSAhzDAjqhjWv2w/s320/IMG_4744.JPG" /></a><br />Tuesday was a special day for another reason, Simon became one year older (rumour has it he is now 40). Unfortunately Simon's cake went missing and he had to settle for apple crumble for dessert!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBF0CHmHndpaqFhguNViFhd36kNFzPw_pr4AbPYQyFS4ZfOz_1SYEcRWd1nR2Uhc6Lw1wYFYjs95ZnTgoi6OdffBZBu_LOPXTHMN7MiTq-ekrf8f6saGRr5cu7xEfkY-TbqH-ojo0IXCk8/s1600/P1000053.JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBF0CHmHndpaqFhguNViFhd36kNFzPw_pr4AbPYQyFS4ZfOz_1SYEcRWd1nR2Uhc6Lw1wYFYjs95ZnTgoi6OdffBZBu_LOPXTHMN7MiTq-ekrf8f6saGRr5cu7xEfkY-TbqH-ojo0IXCk8/s320/P1000053.JPG" /></a></span><br />

Big thanks to Icebug who have been helping us keep out feet in the slippery Scottish terrain. The rest of the day was spent traversing the Scottish coast, checking out the Sprint areas for the following days.</span></div>

Well, that's it for another year at the World Champs. Time always flies at these events, and there's no doubt that's because they are a heap of fun, in large part to all the awesome people in our team, so this is a personal thanks to them for being great teammates. A big thanks to all of you around the world who've followed our blog, and I can tell you there were quite a lot of you reading, so thanks :)<br />
<br />
This post is also a big advertisement for the World Cup events this January in Australia! If you live in Europe and are thinking about attending, ask an Aussie what they think, and they will only have positive things to say about orienteering and travelling in Tasmania.<br />

So enough blabbering by me lets get down to business.<br />
<br />
Today would be the middle. The distance that is know for it's technical difficulty. From our run around the middle model maps it should deliver that in some varied terrain. The terrain has some intense areas of detailed rock in lower visibility forest on one side of the hill but on the other it is relatively clean running with not quite as much detail. Really it is on big sucker of a hill that will provide a mix bag of terrain as it has some alpine meadows on the top too.<br />

Anyway now onto what you need to know. Our runners are now Jas, Hanny and Julian. Yes you might spot a change there. Vanessa has chosen not to run due to feeling a bit under the weather the last 3 or so days. So now for start times: Jas 12:35:30 (only 8:35:30 back home), Hanny 1:19 and Jules is off at 3:07.<br />

First womens start is at 12.21 I believe.<br />
<br />
The rain has currently gone away so it should be a nice day to spectate. Hanny is the first Australian off at 12:37 so that would be 8:37pm AEST. Ness won't be too far behind that at just after 1pm. Simon is our only hope for the boys in this newly arranged World Championship events where there is no qualification races anymore. He will start at 1:46 over here.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Australia team of Rachel, Jules, Simon and Hanny produced some outstanding runs to come 10th. If you want to know how the race went for Australia I suggest that you jump on the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/OrienteeringAustralia" target="_blank">Orienteering Australia facebook page </a>and have a look at the posts which were put up during the event.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Simon, like Jules felt the pace of the top guys but still managed to come back in 13th position 2:02 down on the lead.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hanny then had a good run to bring us home in some challenging conditions due to extra rain (not that it wasn't already slippery enough). She took us up into 10th position just 2:41 behind the winning team of Switzerland. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So all in all it was a awesome result from the team and if you have about 1 hour to spare you can now watch the <a href="http://livecenter.orienteering.org/event.php?raceid=455#" target="_blank">replay</a> of the race on the <a href="http://livecenter.orienteering.org/event.php?raceid=455#" target="_blank">IOF's livecenter</a>. Do it! It will be well worth the time!</span><br />
