NZ MTBO Champs 2009

marcusd Posted: 15 November 2009, 8:47 AM   Results for the long are now up on the website: http://www.cdorienteering.co.nz/ Thanks to all who attended. Marcus   Michael Posted: 16 November 2009, 1:06 AM   Great weekend thanks Marcus and Rotorua OC; also Chris Morris controller from Taupo. The tracks were in pristine condition. FTR Cabin was beaten by Andrew Bott in the long, but Tom Reynolds took both the shorter distances. Marquita Gelderman won all three, with Australian-resident kiwi Kath Copland second each time.   Greg Posted: 16 November 2009, 2:23 AM   Cheers everyone was great (apart from blatant cheating from Jamie). Is there any chance of getting the photos/video up somewhere? Mick, Ian?   rob.g Posted: 16 November 2009, 3:11 AM   Jamie 2 Greg 1   Greg Posted: 16 November 2009, 3:40 AM   What are you counting Rob? I never cheated or went the wrong way up a directional track, and I'm sure the number of times Jamie did it are higher, well at least the number of times he was caught on camera and admitted to. Or are you counting the number of times we didn't pay attention to the start instructions, thats at least 2 for Jamie in the middle, but should be 0 for me.....   rob.g Posted: 16 November 2009, 4:02 AM   You took the bait Greg. You both rode well. Just wish Tom had ridden yesterday, because he would have needed an excellent race to beat Andrew Bott from Hawkes Bay.   Greig Posted: 16 November 2009, 4:52 AM   Yeah Tom and Andrew were a step above the rest of us. I was also impressed that Cabin could make two big mistakes and still come second. It's good to be beaten by so much to see just how much faster you can go if you really work at it.   Jamie Posted: 16 November 2009, 6:57 AM   yeah its amazing how fast real mountain bikers can go. Whatever Greg.   Greg Posted: 16 November 2009, 7:24 AM   How'd that taped route and last control work out for you?   marcusd Posted: 16 November 2009, 8:47 AM   You two really love each other don't you?   Ians Posted: 16 November 2009, 1:26 PM   I have posted some photos from the Middle distance and the Sprint on the following page http://picasaweb.google.com/agogo.simpson Greg, there is a spectacular photo at the first control of the Sprint!   mick finn Posted: 17 November 2009, 12:24 AM   Video of the middle; more to come later this week :-) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVsoLGhUq9w   mick finn Posted: 18 November 2009, 11:44 PM   Video of the sprint; long to come later this week http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObmcWuurOA8   mick finn Posted: 25 November 2009, 2:10 AM   And the long distance http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kck1Shrisio   Greg Posted: 25 November 2009, 2:18 AM   And still waiting for the route gadget......
