#86 – JWOC: World Sprint Champs Preview

[upbeat music] That group of 13 down to 12 with missing Ralph Street.

Tim Robertson, goodness me, what has happened to Tim because he is 44 seconds ...

Oh, my God.

Magnus Dewett.

Oh, oh, oh.

I think he read the course wrong there and run the wrong direction, and it was some minutes waste there.

Welcome to Orienteer Pod.

My name is Ralph Street, and I'm joined today just by Magnus Dewett.

Uh, we're doing the end ...

The, we're doing the introduction at the end, as usual.

We've actually been recording for almost two hours, and chatting for a lot longer than that.

You forgot to mention it's episode 86, so basically the same year you were born, and we were covering the Junior World Champs that has just been, uh, held, and we are having a slight discussion about the World Champs coming up.

We had had a lot of people coming in at us around some Ukkola and Finland stuff we obviously were wrong about some episodes back.

It's been, yeah, very fun going through all that.

Um, we struggled to, really struggled to get the introduction, so hope the podcast kicks off with a lot of energy.

We'll find out in the edit.

Um, Tim Robertson's not here y- and he might not even be in the podcast.

We don't know, but we're gonna try and get a hold of him for his insight, his world-class insight into sprint orienteering.

So enjoy for this summer episode.

We're talking on a Saturday afternoon, which is very unusual.

We always record on Sunday or Monday, Monday evenings.

We're not joined by Tim, also very unusual, so we are on for a tricky start.

The JWOC just concluded, like two hours ago, with the relay.
