Fab Div 5 - talk about sisterhood!
Headed up by Queen Nav Ben Hofmann, conversation WON’T run dry! Boff is said to have found his new besties, with IB not only a fun race this year, but a dream come true. When asked his thoughts on the squad, he replied in his typically expressive manner, saying “ “.
Next up is Deputy-Queen Nav Lilli Krawitz!! Lilli, known as Lilli Lobby-Lown to colleagues, is the key to this team’s chemistry.
There’s Georgia Borschmann, formerly known as Esther Bornstein!! As the newest and youngest recruit for Div 5, she is prepared to prove herself in this feminominon of a team!
Rounding off this stellar squad is Annabel Mapel-Brown!! AMB (or Ambidextrous to her inner circle) is the mitochondria of this feminist cell - the power behind the PRs. Blink and you’ll miss her, other teams will be trembling.
Get keen and go crazy for girl power!!

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.
