Any new news on world championship 2009?

...According to maps.google.com it would take only 24 hours to drive from Jyväskylä to Düsseldorf. And better still only about a week and 1 958 km to walk there, a totally cosiderable option.

The most I have done is walk 115 km in 24 hours. I also did about 1500 km in 5 weeks. Unless you are a freaking walking freak (yes, not just a walking freaking, but a freaking one) you better bring your hitchhiking thumb with you
A 24 hour drive seems reasonable though

You have to "walk" with a speed of 11 km/h to make 1958 km in a week.

We have misread Tim. It is a week AND 1958 km

You still misread. Those 1958 km include 1222 km by ferry (which only takes about one day). So much less walking for Ewks. Cheater.

 

[Ewks]

Maybe I'll just take a plane, it will propably even be cheaper considering all the food I'd have to eat and the ferry.

Woo! 5x5 first up

 

[Gunnar]

Yay!

I registered instantly. I guess I'm among the first to register.

 

[Laetitia]

I'm not sure.
I registered immediately too, and before posting the link here

 

[joey]

I registered before the link was posted here too

I don't understand the catering thing. It isn't exactly explained anywhere. Could someone please enlighten me?

 

[masterofthebass]

Catering is food provided for you at an event. If you want to eat said food, paying the 15 euro allows you do to so. It's pretty straight forward.

 

[Dene]

Ah ok I get it now. I was mislead by the statement "number of catering vouchers". I was thinking "how many would I need for myself???" But now I see that it is one voucher for the whole weekend as opposed to per meal or something. (Which would have been rather expensive indeed).

Well, I may as well register, even though I'm not sure if I can make it.

EDIT: Ok never mind looks like I won't be registering until I can confirm that I'm coming (I don't know which hotel I'll be staying at >.<)

 

[Yes We Can!]

Why is it so important, to say, which hotel?

 

[guusrs]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah,
all hotels listed on the wc2009 website are booked full for single rooms.
I booked the Mercure Hotel for 63 euro per night

I asked ron about this. He mentioned before that he reserved the rooms. I think that's a reason why they are full (at least the hostel) We are supposed to put in the "special booking code" but there isn't an option to. I e-mailed him, and he said he'll look into it.

 

[Ron]

Filippo Brancaleoni won the early registration of the World Championship 2009 with a time of 17:26, Lorenzo Bonoan finished second (17:28) and Karsten Buitkamp finished third (17:32).
World records: Ron van Bruchem Early registration 17:25.

 

[Ron]

Dan finished 6th (17:54), Joey 8th (17:59), Erik 11th (18:19), Laetitia 13th (18:23).

 

[Dene]

Haha well done guys

 

[Ron]

If you want to book the Youth Hostel, you can book by e-mail, using the special booking code. I will update the website.

exactly what I did today
I called them and then they told me to send them an email.
I will be staying there from Thursday to Monday (pretty sure) - a bit of additional time is always good
