Jan Gilot Belgian champion long distance
Last week, De Laatste Post headlined: "Gilot and Hendrickx are the favourites", after Fabien Pasquasy said so in his blog. It turns out that Fabien was quite right as Jan Gilot (KOL) managed to win the Belgian long distance championship, held in Brasschaat, Antwerp on the map "Klein Schietveld".
Gilot, also last year's winner, managed to keep his total time lost in mistakes to a minimum, yet he still made two two-minute mistakes. No-one of the top runners had a clean run in the Elite categories, partially because the high grass made the course into a tough challenge, but we also heard complaints about the map and the placing of the controls.
Follow-up runners in the standings were Etienne Van Gasse (Asub) and Pieter Hendrickx (KOL), Van Gasse being 1:28 behind and Hendrickx 2:07, with Fabien Pasquasy finishing just 2 seconds behind him on the fourth spot.
In the women's category, we have Veerle Tulleneers (Omega) in first position, in front of Aline Hermans (CO Liège) and Greet Oeyen (hamok). Again, no-one managed to run a clean race, with quite a few mistakes for Tulleneers too, but still less than the 5-minute mistake towards control 3 by Aline Hermans, after a fast paced start.
The junior categories were won by Wouter Leeuws (H-18), Johan Goubau (H-20), Elisabeth Henkes (D-18) and Miek Fabré (D-20). This race was the selection race for JEC in Millau (FR), we'll post the team as soon as it's officially announced.
It is definitely worth the time to compare this year's edition of the map to the 2001 version, as posted in our previous article, as the grassland to the north of the start has a far more detailed vegetation in the older version than in the newer one. Also the organizers might want to consult the sports rules (PDF) of the Belgian federation and more specifically item 14.6.

Hi,
needles to say that I'm quite disappointed that nobody from the elite categories (except for Aline - thanx) faced me to discuss the problems mentioned by Jeroen: poor map (this is what he is saying) and poor control setting.
I invite you all to comment on yesterday's competition by email: sam.deferm@brutex.com, so at least I know what's going on and try to comment on your reactions?
Thanks
Sam

I ran my first Elite championship so can't compare it to other editions.
But i think the course-setting was good. The course was quite heavy and challanging. Defenitely tough enough for a Belgian champs long.
About the poor control setting: sometimes it took a while to find the control because they were hided. But the controls were on the right place I think.

Bij post 6 en 17 zou er wat mis zijn op de kaart, hoorde ik van anderen.
De openplekjes bij de 6 waren er volgens sommigen niet, ik heb ze nochthans perfect gezien. Bij post 17 zou de kaart verdraaid zijn, maar zelf heb ik mijn kompas gezet en liep ik er recht op.
De kaart en baanlegging waren volgens mij vrij goed.

Ik vond de wedstrijd ook een BK waardig. Goed gedaan van Sam en het borasca-team.
Om op mash te reageren:
Bij post 6 liep ik er langs en vond ik het niet zo duidelijk.
Ook bij 17 ging ik in de fout, maar dat was volledig men eigen fout. Ik ben er zeker van dat het relief daar mooi klopte.
De enigste post waar ik over twijfelde (en waar zeer veel elite-lopers tijd verliezen) is dan weer post 12. Ik heb men twijfels dat de kompas richting tussen 11 en 12 wel helemaal juist is.
Maar welke kaart is hier wel tot op de meter juist getekend? Denk niet dat er in Belgie veel gaan overschieten.

My comments on the map:
The grassland: compare the old map to the new map. The contours have improved I guess, but the vegetation? I could be wrong though.
On the way to control 4, a path was gone, it was drawn as a badly visible path, so I can live with it, yet the other paths there were also drawn as badly visble paths, but were actually good paths, a lack of consistency.
Like Thomas, I had no problems at control 6 and I have seen the yellow zones there too.
From 7 to 8, there was a quite good path through the southern part of the open land, from south to north, which is very important for the route choice there. If it's drawn, you take it, otherwise, going through the forest might be tempting.
At 12, my experience was the same as what Desmond says, what mostly anyone who ran there and spoke to me about his race was saying.
At 17, the contours are OK in relation to each other (that's how I eventually found the control), but I am in doubt about the path there. I arrived at the green cross. Coming from the path, that's 45 degrees wrong. My guess is that the path's direction is more like how it was on the old map, which leads exactly to the point where I arrived. Thomas used his compass there, so he didn't notice it.
Control 28, white forest? I don't think so.
( Control 32, strange area there... The path coming from the north is most likely wrong.)
In other categories (H50), Pierre Marchal lost his title at control 13, the small path that joins the main path to the west of the control actually joins it right in front of the gully, further south, at least that's what was told to me.
About the lucky controls: that's what Fabien said immediately after his finish: "we heard complaints about".
Like Winston, it was my first championship in the elite categories. So I can't really compare it, yet I "knew" that I could not have the same controls as other runners, which is misleading, as was also said to me by other runners after the race.

ben ook wel tevreden over de baanlegging .. technische stukken , snelle stukken en zware stukken...posten stonden naar mijns inzien juist
had enkel een zeer verwarrend moment aan post 12 waar ik toch bijna 4 minuten laat liggen..
keek juist op de winsplits en zie dat velen daar tijd verliezen..denk dat het komt dat er daar veel foute spoorvorming is onstaan, en dat er vaag verschil in vegetaties was
Als 2e opmerking,
hoorde ik uit verschillende hoeken dat het niet verplicht is om naar de voorstart te lopen..was dit nu de bedoeling of niet en zit het met de regels hieromtrent?

In het Belgisch reglement is weinig terug te vinden. In de IOF rules staat:
22.6
The start shall be organised so that later competitors and other persons cannot see the map, courses, route choices or the direction to the first control. If necessary, there shall be a marked route from the time start to the point where orienteering begins.
22.8
The point where orienteering begins shall be shown on the map with the start triangle and, if it is not at the time start, marked in the terrain by a control flag but no marking device.
Het lijkt mij dan ook logisch dat iedereen geacht wordt naar de startdriehoek te gaan aangezien daar de orientatie geacht wordt te beginnen. Aan de andere kant had ik wel de indruk dat de startdriehoek iets dichter bij de prestart had kunnen liggen zonder regel 22.6 te overtreden.

volgens mij is het ook verplicht om naar de startdriehoek te lopen. Tenslotte was het ook met tape afgezet en bv van de laatste post naar de finish volg je toch ook de tape?
Op de aflossing werd er ook niet door iedere ploeg naar de startdriehoek gelopen en hier was dat volgens mij ook verplicht....

Mij is ooit verteld dat als er een lint hangt je verplicht dit lint moet volgen tot de startbalize.
Dit was duidelijk zondag het geval.

Er wordt een onderscheid gemaakt tussen een ononderbroken lint (dat je verplicht moet volgen tot aan de startbalise)en een onderbroken lint (dat je niet verplicht moet volgen tot aan de start)

^anoniem^, ik dacht dat ook, maar waar staat dat ergens?
Ik vond alleen maar wat "anoniem" daarboven te vertellen had.

Post 32: kwam het spoor over en dacht dit nog even te moeten volgen maar was niet het geval, de post was er meteen. Gelukkig was mijn snelheid op dat moment niet meer zo hoog dus liep ik de post niet voorbij maar zag hem wel staan.
Post 5: verlies tijd omdat post diep in de put staat. Er zijn hieromtrent regels, object of balise zou vanaf bepaalde afstand zichtbaar moeten zijn.
Verder had ik een goed gevoel bij de baanlegging, er was nooit een evidente wegkeuze. Het lange been naar 4 was misschien ongelukkig gekozen omdat de verschillende Witte bossen niet allemaal even snel liepen. Jan zijn wegkeuze was zeker niet de beste hoewel dit op het eerste zicht wel het geval lijkt als je er niet hebt gelopen.
