Must be a tricky turn-off
12 Oct 2024, 07:53. 1x 📷. Posted by Chloe Woodburn - IB Marketing Officer.
Bruce Division 1 have joined B&G in missing the Devils Gap Fire Trail turn-off. Will they run into each other?
For their part, B&G seems to have realised that they’re in the wrong spot; they have turned around and are heading back up the spur.
These errors have allowed Griffin Division 1 to increase the margin of their lead once again. This demonstrates how important nailing the navigation is - but it is so hard at this point in the race when teams are physically and mentally exhausted.

For the whole race, it’s looked like Bruce 1 has been safely in third place. Now, I’m not so sure. It looks like Lodge have absolutely sent it up the southern route and may just beat them to Endpoint. Bruce wouldn’t be expecting this. Exciting!…
-
Bruce and B&G look to have recovered and are back on track to Endpoint. If you’re watching the trackers closely, it may look as though both teams are potentially along Corin Road, and exclusion zone. Satellite imagery makes this situation a little more clear - both teams appear to have followed a track that is unmarked on IB Live. Phew!…

B&G 1 are in a bit of trouble. They missed the Devils Gap Fire Trail turn-off and are heading straight for a section of Corin Road that is out of bounds. They are about to hit a T-intersection, which should hopefully be a warning that something is not quite right…

Seems Griffin Div has made a slight nav error and gone off Oakey Creek Road (the key easy route to navigating through the forest), seems they are headed back towards it though and probably has only cost a detour of about 500m. However this might cause one to worry about what will happen in the pine ahead. Where teams…

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…

Division 1
So far they’re all heading in the same direction, which also happens to be the optimal route. It’s a pretty condensed race and it is currently very difficult to tell who’s in the lead. I’m sure that over the next 100 kilometres they’ll spread out a little…

-
Division 1
To potentially confuse the Division 1 navigators, the Course Setters have included some red-herring exclusion zones in the south part of the course, including a zone which is very cheekily listed as excluded for Divisions 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 (ie. everyone except Division 1). Will this trick some teams into thinking they’re on the south half of the map?…
