Teams have to visit one of 4 checkpoints on course with this one being at Corin Dam, we will try get pictures of teams as they come through these. Only div 3 should pass through here, but teams from Divs 1 and 4 may also go through here if they take the scenic route… Read more.

The predictor is now up and running!, at the start will be super volatile and likely under estimate time of arrival just after drop (over estimate eventual overall average GAP (Gradient Adjusted Pace)) as typically teams start off hot/fast (see below graph of speeds of historical IB teams) with it taking time for teams to settle in a rhythm and on a route. It also assumes optimal navving which is probably unlikely, only accounting for the terrain and distance of the optimal route ahead. This means it will also not consider other factors that may slow a team down like a trail being overgrown… Read more.

So far they’re all heading in the same direction, which also happens to be the optimal route. It’s a pretty condensed race and it is currently very difficult to tell who’s in the lead. I’m sure that over the next 100 kilometres they’ll spread out a little… Read more.

They’re also heading the right direction. All four teams that have left so far seem fairly close. Remembering that there’s a delay in the tracking updates, it is difficult to tell who is in the lead at the moment… Read more.

To potentially confuse the Division 1 navigators, the Course Setters have included some red-herring exclusion zones in the south part of the course, including a zone which is very cheekily listed as excluded for Divisions 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 (ie. everyone except Division 1). Will this trick some teams into thinking they’re on the south half of the map?… Read more.

Located on Doctors Flat Rd, ~10km north-west of Wee Jasper. Div 1 with its 45 minutes of scouting time should almost certainly identify that they need to head south, for heading north can only lead them to the Wee Jasper Gin Distillery… Read more.
