Teamwork makes the dream work <3

B&G Divisions 3 and 4 have been in close proximity for the last half hour. Will they run to Endpoint together, or will B&G 3 continue to outpace them in the back half of the course?

Div 4 is also shaping up to be very tight. Wamburun has 13km and 500m elevation to go, but on much nicer and faster moving trails than Bruce, who have 12km and 400m elevation to go…

This is another CP of which teams must pass through one, we suspect this to be the busiest of them with Divs 1,3, 4, 6, & 7 able to pass through here…

Teams have to visit one of 4 checkpoints on course with this one being at Corin Dam, we will try get pictures of teams as they come through these. Only div 3 should pass through here, but teams from Divs 1 and 4 may also go through here if they take the scenic route…

Division 3 are currently next to a region that is shaded yellow on the IB Live map. This is a Division-specific exclusion zone. The map that the runners have received stipulates that Divisions 2, 3, and 6 are not allowed to pass through this region…

This drop on Bendora Rd is designed to trick runners into heading up to Mt Franklin Rd and descend down to the Corin Dam CP. This route however whilst roughly equidistant is significantly hillier and forecast to be 2 hrs slower for the average team. …

The Division 3 B&G team have had a relatively slow start to the race. They initially ran north to Brindabella Road, but managed to avoid entering the exclusion zone. It then looked like they could be heading along a whitelisted trail alongside Brindabella Creek. This would have been interesting - it’s not the optimal route, but it would have been nice to see some route-choice variety…

This variable window scout time sure caused a stir at the runners briefing. However due to its location on Brindabella Valley Road, it was a necessary design feature of this drop to allow scouts to pick up the same level of information based on visibility. We'll keep you updated on heading south leads to private property. Teams heading North, will have to make an immediate decision to head up Honeysuckle Trail or to Piccadilly Circus via the powerlines adjacent to Brindabella Rd. Heading up Honeysuckle trail is significantly quicker (for the 'average' IB team) (15-45 minutes depending on later route choice), likely as it does not involve the bonus vert required to follow the powerlines unrelenting straight line over spurs, gullies and knolls…

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…

Guided by the all-seeing, all-knowing Ollie “The Oracle” James, ex-Bruce imports Maxine “Neo” Wu and Harry “Morpheus” Arnold saw the light and took the “Red” (back) pill, breaking free from their blissful ignorance and delusion of the “Blue” Bruce past. As the saying goes, all good things come in threes, and these two converts flank Milly “Trinity” Hobbs, forming the iconic Div Holy Trinity…
