[ARDF] Region 1 Champs 80m results...

[Matthew Robbins]

It looks like Bob Cooley got 12th on M60.  

I noticed it on 2m as well, but what is it with several of the M60
guys getting extra transmitters?  Are they just getting their money's
worth?

Today's courses are weird:

 Minimum of running routes with winning time
 W19  S-3-5-1-4-6-Fi      6650 m  94 minutes
 W21  S-3-5-1-2-6-Fi      6540 m  80 minutes
 W35  S-3-5-2-4-6-Fi      6350 m  74 minutes
 W50  S-3-1-2-6-Fi        6360 m  105 minutes
 M19  S-5-1-2-4-6-Fi      6630 m  66 minutes 
 M21  S-3-5-1-2-4-6-Fi    6760 m  60 minutes
 M40  S-3-1-2-4-6-Fi      6580 m  62 minutes
 M50  S-3-5-1-4-6-Fi      6650 m  75 minutes
 M60  S-5-2-4-6-Fi        6220 m  71 minutes

I'm assuming the map will tell the story on these.  I've certainly
never seen a course with all the distances matched so closely.  There
must be big climb or something on some of these.

I'm most surprised that the women's times are so much longer overall
than the men's.  The longest men's winning time is about the same as
the shortest women's winning time.  I almost think something is wrong
with that.

The finish route was on a running track today---so the run-in was
completely flat.

They have posted a bunch more photos, even for the Day 1, 2m event.

It appeared from both Days' photos the the maps were about A4 (Letter)
sized.  They were 1:15000, so it's a pretty decent sized area.
