While Divisions 1-3 are battling it out on course in the depths of the night, Division 7 are enjoying their journey to Dropsite. The blue lighting really adds to the aura.

If you’re following along at home and trying to spot Burgmann Division 7, you might notice they’re not currently on the map. We promise this is purely a technical error that will be fixed shortly - the team are doing well. Their location is still visible from our end and they are currently about 100 metres behind Johns division 7. I’ve attached a picture to this post… 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.
