Garry Morrison - 10h35
Eugene Botha - 10h50
Paul Wimberley - 11h01
The guys will be running a 2.8km course around the city of Prostejov, about 25km south of Olomouc, with the winner expected to do about 12 minutes in each of the 3 heats. The top 15 finishers in each heat go through to the final in Olomouc centre on Sunday evening.
As final preparation for the Sprint event, the team ran on the official model map and area on Saturday afternoon.
Even Ian Bratt, the team manager went out for a run.
The weather has been muggy for the last two days, but temperate are expected to be mild, with potential thunderstorms on race day. The team are keen to get going. This will be the first outing at a World Champs for all three South African runners, so both athletes and manager are unsure of what is going to happen! Eugene has divulged his race strategy as '- go like hell'. Paul's race strategy is '- finish'. Garry is still 'mulling it over'.
