WOC Report #9 – A dire day at the relay
By Malcolm Ingham - 8 Jul 2017 - News Item

Relay day at WOC2016 in Sweden was not particularly auspicious for NZL. However, it was nothing on relay day at WOC2017 in Estonia! Apart from Nick and Laura all the NZl team members either struggled or had disasters on the, admittedly, complex terrain. The day started badly whe  Gene dropped almost 6 minutes on the […]

WOC Report #8 – A good day at the middle
By Malcolm Ingham - 7 Jul 2017 - News Item

Today’s middle distance on Elva-Vitipalu saw the most satisfactory NZL performance of the week so far. Nick, recovering from the disappointment of his unfortunate DSQ in the long distance ran a good solid race to finish 39th in 41:11 and was closely backed up by Gene only 29 seconds behind in 41st. Between them these […]

WOC Report #7 – Rough justice at the end of the long
By Malcolm Ingham - 5 Jul 2017 - News Item

What was a good day at the WOC long distance for NZL was soured at the end when Nick, after an excellent first ever run at WOC, was disqualified for inadvertently trespassing into out of bounds on the short loop after the arena run through. Without this he would have registered an excellent 34th place […]

WOC Report #5 – Sprint reflections
By Malcolm Ingham - 2 Jul 2017 - News Item

Having at last had the chance to walk around the sprint terrain in Tartu I completely agree with Tim’s comments that he posted on his blog regarding the courses from yesterday. To qualify – what a magnificant sprint area it was up on the hill: grassy slopes with a network of paths between statues, bridges, […]

WOC Report #4: Disappointment in Tartu
By Malcolm Ingham - 2 Jul 2017 - News Item

Unfortunately WOC sprint final 2017 will not go down as a great day for NZ orienteering. Both Tim and Laura dropped time early on and Lizzie suffered a recurrence of the breathing problems have hindered her sprint performances in the past few years. The courses themselves were very atypical of what Kiwis probably expect of […]

WOC Report #3 – Three Kiwis into WOC Sprint Final
By Malcolm Ingham - 1 Jul 2017 - News Item

Despite late changes to the courses, following today’s qualification heats, run in persistent rain on largely hilly parkland above the streets of the old town, three of the NZL team – Tim, Laura and Lizzie – will line up in the WOC sprint final early Sunday morning New Zealand time. The truth of rumours floating around […]

WOC Report #2 – and they’re off (nearly)
By Malcolm Ingham - 30 Jun 2017 - News Item

Two more days of light training and sampling of Estonian terrain of various types, and here we are on the eve of Sprint Qualification. Today’s model event (the model for all the sprints) suggested a terrain with as much grass as tarmac, not too many buildings, some steep slopes, and the cobbles of the old town […]

WOC Report #1: Marshes, mosquitoes and meanderings in Estonia
By Malcolm Ingham - 27 Jun 2017 - News Item

Tuesday morning in Tartu, Estonia and finally, with the 9.55pm flight from Helsinki and the 11.30pm bus from Tallinn delivering Ross and Nick, respectively, to the bosom of the team, all NZL team members have arrived for WOC2017. Sadly, the same cannot be said of Nick’s bag which seems to have been highjacked in Moscow. […]

High Performance News #29 – May 2017
By Malcolm Ingham - 1 Jun 2017 - News Item

After the madness of April there has been relatively little activity in May up until the last two weeks.

Both perhaps give […]

Survival in the rain – WOC Long Distance
By Malcolm Ingham - 26 Aug 2016 - News Item

A very wet day in Stromstad turned the WOC Long Distance into something of a survival test as the long tough courses across the marshes and heather clad tops provided an extremely thorough test of both fitness and navigation. The four Kiwis – Imogene Scott, Lizzie Ingham, Gene Beveridge and Chris Forne – all had mixed […]

WOC Sprint relay – a bad day at the office!
By Malcolm Ingham - 22 Aug 2016 - News Item

After last year’s 12th place in Scotland, the 2016 WOC Sprint Relay turned out to be a big disappointment for the NZL team of Jula McMillan, Tim Robertson, Ross Morrison and Laura Robertson. Sadly, Jula, on the first leg at her first WOC, had the kind of run that nightmares are made of. First visiting the wrong […]
