Don’t let the dry Strava fool you (you can add pictures, you know!). Nathan takes running seriously, despite multiple injuries and a shrinking bank account. Hand him a compass, and he’ll lead Div 5 to victory in a bush bash.
Sophie is an Inward Bound veteran, fighting through injury and illness like a true soldier. Her connection to Wright Hall is strong (thanks to her SR boyfriend), and she’s ready to win.
Guy Archibald (aka G-force, Guyatt) is a man of many talents—running Div 5 and starring in the Wright Hall musical. Strengths: acting, finding spots (on and off the map). Weaknesses: second years, Fenner residents.
Martini, the "Duong-key," is a serious force on the team. No longer a coach, but his coaching instincts might resurface. His superpowers include lightning downhill speed, Wright loyalty, and Duolingo-level Swedish. With Mart as their GPS, Div 5 is a strong and scary sight.

Bruce 5 is the first and only college entrant to finish Division 5 so far. They join Division X’s IBSC, who absolutely stormed into Endpoint earlier in the day… Read more.

Burgamann 5 looks to have taken a risk and gone for the bush bash near Orroral Valley tracking station, and it might well pay off!… Read more.

With some really tight racing in the middle of the pack for Div 5, navigators have one last big decision to make...to bush bash or not to bush bash?… Read more.

Teams going through this drop point have to navigate a bush bash to connect from the Brandy Flat fire trail to the Orroral Valley walking track. It's in cleared-out terrain though so it shouldn't cause too many complaints especially as it will be safer than running along Boboyan Rd. We expect both Div 2 & 5 teams to pass through here… Read more.

With the Division X IBSC team leading to the west (and Johns the front college team), and Fenner leading to the east, Division 5 should be an interesting one to watch! Teams have started to space out along the road. … Read more.

The largest Division in this year’s event, about half of the Division 5 teams have now left Dropsite. Most are heading north-west towards Boboyan Road, though Fenner seems to have followed B&G Division 2 towards the east. Watch this space… Read more.

For Div 5 a spot near Mt Clear Campground returns as drop site to IB. Teams here need to avoid going up the clear range instead of taking Naas Valley FT the route we suspect is going to be the most common. … Read more.

Division 5 appear to be nearing their Dropsite. They have an interesting Dropsite approach: since buses cannot reach Mt Clear Campground, Division 5 runners are being shuttled in cars from Boboyan Road through to their Dropsite. Their journey isn’t over yet! They’ll then be walked (while still blindfolded) into the middle of the campground. Confusing!… 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.

This in reality only affects Div 5 runners, hopefully they won't follow a div 2 team through here. I should force them to head up Naas Valley Firetrail which might bring back some hopefully good memories for 2019 div 1 & 2 runners… Read more.
