We all have to start from somewhere

MikeB Posted: 28 November 2014, 10:38 AM   I was just looking through some old maptalk discussions and came across these results from the Auckland Summer Series in 2001. I figured Gene must have been nearly 10 and Renee nearly 8. My how their km rates have improved since then. Course 4 2.2 kms 1 Sophie Lange 0:18:02 2 Melanie Michels 0:21:06 3 Sandy McGivern 0:21:50 4 Gene Beveridge 0:25:40 5 Margaret Sydenham 0:26:00 6 Jenny Andrew 0:27:00 7 I & P 0:27:30 8 Sebastian Olsen 0:28:34 9 Renee Beveridge 0:38:00 10 Thomas 0:45:00   Michael Posted: 28 November 2014, 12:15 PM   I took 45min for 2.8km on last night's sprint. I hope I can do better like your two in 13 years time:-))   MikeB Posted: 28 November 2014, 12:38 PM   Mike I'm afraid to say I don't think it works that way, much is the pity.   fraser Posted: 1 December 2014, 3:02 PM   After reading this post I was checking out the K rates on the stats website. http://www.orienteeringresults.com/O/nzof/KmRatesmenu.asp It has the top 100 for each class and makes interesting reading looking at the younger grades. Special mention for Nick Hann's effort at the Otago Champs on Sunday. 76:53 for 15.2km would put him in 11th on the "Top 100 Men > 5k" for all time. http://www.orienteeringresults.com/O/nzof/kmrates.asp?Query=3   tommyhayes Posted: 2 December 2014, 11:30 AM   hahah with the little baby ed corywright wrecking the overall rankings
