WOC 1993 сlassic
The WOC Classic race held on Surbridge Mt. map is still considered as one of the technically hardest WOC Classic courses ever. Allan Mogensen, the winner of the race seems to have an almost 'love/hate' relation to the area:
"I loved this whole area mainly because of the huge amount of details – rocks, contours and thickets spread all over the map. And it was a great feeling to run the WOC having 110% faith in the perfectness of the map."
– but on the other hand, Allan explains:
"The technical challenges were very high, not just because of the amount of details, but more because of the stony ground, which I really didn’t like. It was not my cup of tea. I had a lot of respect for the terrain and could really never push myself 100% physically. To me, it was one of the biggest technical challenges ever."
