EOC Middle Qualification
I did a solid race in the qualifier here in Portugal. I ran comfortably all the way, and despite 2 big time losses (one because I didn’t see the control flag, and one because the control was misplaced – in total 60-80 s lost), I easily qualified for the final. The course was a bit different from what I was expecting, with a lot of semi-open areas, and a quite vague map, but as I said, no problem to get to the final for me.
And regarding those misplaced controls: I feel sorry for the organisers, because this will give them so much extra work. It is a shame that this could happen in an international championship, clearly there are som issues to be worked on, but I hope that this will be solved quickly, and any solution works with me, whether the results stands or everybody gets to run the final.
