The course map for Wednesday

Here is map for Wednesday. Remember to ignore the loops that appear on the map, as we explained in todays briefing they are only relevant to the year 7 and 8 levels that will be competing.

• You need to work hard to get a good start. The first bend will be open you quickly. 
• Remember you are a race car not a road car - you don't have to stay on your side of the road, you can use as much of the track or as little of the track to take the shortest, safest line around a bend. BUT STAY WITHIN THE MARKED COURSE.
• Keep your head up as you run so you can see and plan where you are going. Your feet will always be there and you don't need to check that they are still working.
• Remember ditches with puddles are a great place to pass other people. This is because other competitors will slow their pace down and naturally revert to tip toe running to avoid puddles. Lets face it you're going to get dirty so you might as well get dirty going fast. Eat up lots tomorrow night, pasta, rice and potatoes. I am looking forward to hearing about how dirty you managed to get :)
