Can someone give me some tips on when and how to see live Jukola coverage on the web?  We have cable and a web connected TV.  Also, what is the time difference?   I'm so confused, but what else is new?  And speaking of the weekend, the Reading Eagle is sending a photographer to Mt. Penn, so Sunday will be fun for us stay-at-homes.

Also you can follow some progress in preparation for the Jukola on Facebook. There are pictures posted showing competition arena. I hope there will be some links posted to the live TV coverage.

DVOA Venla/Jukola team members are travelling today overseas to join few of us who already in Europe for some time. Tomorrow, Thursday, several of us will go to participate in Forssa Games and get familiar with Finnish terrain, while on Friday we plan to run on Jukola training maps.

The facebook translations from Finnish are hilarious.  "Course kenraaliiin was involved in a large number of toimitsijoita. Good looks." 
any further info about internet coverage will be put to good use.
Wishing you all the very best, and have a GREAT time.

Most of the team members are already in Helsinki with couple expected to arrive Saturday morning. Yesterday we drove to Forssa Games and had our first experience with Finnish terrain. Today we went for a training at nearby maps specifically designated for Jukola training and I believe it was a much better experience.

Including live 2 TV feeds (over the Internet for viewing on your computer should be available), live Audio, live results (incl. several splits), and live GPS tracking, plus terrain maps, incl. sample courses, you can see now.

http://www.attackpoint.org/discussionthread.jsp/message_700797 is an attackpoint discussion, with esp. english-speaking team details

Venla (4 women relay) starts at 2pm local = 7AM eastern time on Saturday, and will run about 4 hours for the US/DVOA team

Jukola (7 person relay) starts at 10:30pm local = 3:30pm eastern time on Saturday, and will run as long as 10+ hours for the DVOA & CSU teams - another head-to-head rematch, after this year's nail-bitingly close US Relay Champs

Hi Everybody!
A brief update from Jukola: Vadim is off to the first leg in the Men's Relay, to be handing off to Greg. The weather is cool, perfect for running. We had a great run at Venla: it was tricky, physical, but a lot of fun! Great runs by everybody.
There is no steady internet access, but we will try to post more as soon as we are able!
Go DVOA!

DVOA Teams had an excellent performance at 2012 Venla and Jukola Relays:

Venla Team finished 534 of over 1200 teams
Jukola Team finished 271 of 1684 teams

This was the best performance yet by the DVOA teams, and everybody had solid runs! Great job by Nate in his first international race before JWOC. Suzanne Armstrong had a great run on the Venla anchor leg. Thanks for following Live Results, we will post photos and video interviews shortly.
