MTBO-Camp Denmark 2022: Ultralong Competition

2:20 h video of a competition in a fascinating sport, Mountainbike-Orienteering. The competitors receive a map one minute prior to the start. Starting point is indicated by a triangle. The riders have to follow a given route with controls (circles on the map). Controls are registered by an electronic badge. The chosen route between the controls is up to the riders: better go on the good ridable path but with a detour or ride the shorter way on more difficult trails? Climb up the hill on a shorter distance or accept a long distance, avoid the climb and surround the steep hill? With a good route choice you can win seconds or either loose some time with a bad choice. And that's only the theory: not only you have to decide for a good route choice, no, you have to read the map in high speed and find the right path to take in reality as well! Easy-Peasy-Lemon-Squeezy? Well, give it a try... To avoid that riders just follow each other, they normally start alone at intervals of several minutes. This Ultralong competition was started as a massstart. Hence, the course is built up on several loops: each rider has to absolve the same loops in total but in a different order. So no rider knows in which order his opponents have to absolve the race and therefore following each other is not possible. The map with the recorded route can be seen as an inlay in the right upper corner: Try to choose your route in advance and see where I went (not every route choice is perfect at all...). If you think, your route would have been faster, comment, and I will try to explain my route choice (I fear, in most cases I have to admit that my choice was the suboptimal one...). Have fun!
