River Rat Posted November 27, 2019 Share is it against the rules to get a text or call that you are WAAAAYYYYY off course?not that i assume there is any signal in any case. How would the race organisers know? just asking for real. talking about LM in this instance edit: AND - do they have to backtrack and get back on course where they left? in LM's case they are actually going the long way assuming they take a left in the not to distant future. AVD now too it seems.That's exactly what they have to do and if memory serves Hannele Steyn went 75km off course in the first Munga and went back adding 150km to her event, I think she only finished less than 4 hours behind the eventual winner Amy McDougall. The good news is that LM has realised that he is off course but now he is going to have to go backwards on the route and that could be a problem too.

River Rat Posted November 27, 2019 Share AVD is making the same mistake as LM, I bet you that he's following LM's tyre tracks and not his GPS. MORNE and Slowbee 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

River Rat Posted November 27, 2019 Share LM is at the crossroads literally and figuratively does he go back along the route to where he left it (+15km) or continue and face the wrath of the organisers. edit: it's the latter I hope they're kind to him.

MORNE Posted November 27, 2019 Share so assuming LM is getting a DQ then? he continued on the normal route after rejoining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
River Rat Posted November 27, 2019 Share so assuming LM is getting a DQ then? he continued on the normal route after rejoining.In the past the organisers have exercised an element of leeway with the back markers, in his case he gained no advantage but we'll have to wait and see.
