With five teams out of Dropsite, it seems Division 4 will be split right from the start. This should be interesting! Fenner and Bruce have taken the northern route, while Wamburun and Johns join Burgmann to the south.
Yukeembruk, Wright, and Ursies remain at Dropsite.

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.
