Dropping 2019

Retrospect of our first Dropping event

I hope everyone had a blast yesterday in finding their route, limited by using only a map and compass. All teams made it superfast to the finish, none got really lost (kudos!) and not a single team had to ask their hikeleader for any help in navigating the route, very impressive!

Statistics

We had 16 participants and 4 hike leaders grouped into teams of 5.
Each team started at a different point around the Fichtelgebirge with the Fichtelsee as finish point for all teams. The routes were all between 8,25km and 8,75km in length. The elevation gains were between 300-400 meter.
The teams managed to complete the routes fairly quick with the fastest team arriving at the finish in 115 minutes and the slowes took 146 minutes.

Results

After some calculations to normalize the different tracks and then take the needed time into account these are the results for the four teams.
