Introducing a diverse squad with a single unifying fact: we've all lived at Wright.
With a faulty compass and an affinity for strange fuel choices, our Head Nav Thomas “we’ll roll him to endpoint” Derwent is hoping to taste victory in his third-time lucky IB season. We hope.
Our second IB veteran Juliet “she doesn’t even go here” Quinlivan has returned to the wilderness to save our team. Not even her absurd work hours or the fact that she doesn’t live at Wright anymore can stop her from being part of the hive.
Zoe "would rather be at the footy" Wang has honed her IB training through a strict regimen of ISO sports. Her first-year vitality is unmatched, and if anyone’s up for a post-nav drop bush doof, it’s her. She's the life of the team, both on and off the field!
Lastly, May “have we been here before?” Thu decided it was best to leave the navving to someone else after getting impossibly lost on Mock 1. While her vision may convince her that signs are trees, her skills as a marketing officer will help her whip up some Picasso-like scout notes.
The seventure awaits!

Div 7 is also heating up. After hitting Devil's Gap in 3rd, Fenner 7 have managed to flawlessly navigate a part of the course that a lot of teams have struggled on and hit Booromba Rd in the lead… Read more.

…isn’t always a good idea, as four Division 7 teams will likely find. Ursies, Yukeembruk, Lodge, and Wamburun have all inexplicably headed west, where they should have continued in a straight line south… Read more.

Div 7's Drop is a bit of a classic on the edge of Pierce's Creek Pine Forest along Ash Rd. Teams should hopefully identify Tidbinbilla range to the west an relatively quickly head south and onto Oakey Creek Road before navigating the rest of course. Teams that head north should also hit Oakey Creek Road just about 2km earlier adding another ~ 15 minutes to their run. Hopefully no team heads up the firetrail to tidbinbilla ridge firetrail, as this will add ton ton of vert and likely over an hour of running time but at least they will get nice views of the sunrise from up there. … 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.
