World record attempt
This sounds like fun.
A club in Norway is organizing a "world record" attempt for the most controls found on an O' course.
Thierry Gueorgiou holds the current record at 115 controls on a course.
The Norwegian club is setting a course of 11-13 kilometers. The race takes place this weekend. I'm not sure how many controls they'll have, but you got to figure they'll have a good 120 or so. Runners completing the course get a certificate.
As of today, 22 runners are entered and Norwegian TV is sending a reporter.
