Heya folks, Check out this interesting reading on AR world champs from Team Cyanosis Webpage.
Must say Nic, your new webpage ROCKS!!!! I enjoy all the articles and gear reviews. l8r hardy http://www.teamcyanosis.co.za/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=203:ar-world-championships-&catid=35:news&Itemid=27 The average speed estimated for the whole race is 8,4 km/h, which in their opinion allows any of the top World Teams to complete the full race (CP's and bonus CP's), nevertheless the technicalities involved in navigation, particularly at night, will require acute precision and focus, which implies the teams would need to rest several times along the way to minimize the errors. Because time management is so crucial, there will be some compulsory stops to allow some race protocols regarding Sport Ident data collection, Press Flash Interviews, GPS System downloads and battery check and Medical Checks. >From the data available is possible to verify that around 39% of the predicted time the teams will be walking /running, 41% biking, 18% paddling and 1% skating which indicates that attention should be paid to the feet and their condition along the route. Other interesting data extracted from the race statistics are the maximum speeds for Mountain Biking, 11,75 km/h, for Roller-Blade-TRIKKE, 21,7 km/h, for Trekking 5,5 km/h and for Paddling 6,3 km/h. The longest section has 160 km and it's a MTB section and the shortest is an easy 5,3 km trekking section. Mountain biking has the largest share of the 907 km with more than 57 % (MTB and O-MTB) of the total racing distance. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "DarkAndDirty" group.
