Fenner turn off early

While other Division 2 teams have headed along Boboyan Road until reaching the Old Boboyan Roach intersection Fenner Division 2 have made a break from the rest of the pack and have headed west along Grassy Creek Fire Trail.
This isn’t a horrible decision, but it is likely to be slightly more difficult to traverse and is a little bit longer. However, for a team near the back of the pack, a decisive move like this that allows Fenner to run their own race, rather than follow other teams, could be beneficial.

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.

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.

Div 2 Drop
Fri 22:01 . Posted by Jack Larkin - IB Comms Officer
Division 2
The Div 2 drop is located in a patch of forest along Jones Plain Rd, otherwise surrounded by farmland. It will be a tactical decision for how much of the 55-minute scout time these teams use. If they use a lot of it a northbound scout might reach a bridge over a creek but otherwise teams will be picking drop-off road shape and surrounding terrain alone… 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 may be the most exciting exclusion zone on course as it forces Div 2 to either take a significantly longer (~8km) route or attempt a bush-bash around it across one of 2 saddles, the one further to the north between Mt Gudgenby and smaller knoll/peak to the south seems the smart choice as going across the saddle before requires a small amount of precision to avoid the exclusion and has more vert… Read more.
