For the attention of all members doing TriAthy

elvis jones

Would any of the members here who are doing Athy this year send me there name, race they are doing and projected time !

I need to get them all by May 25th. I have something in the pipeline i can't just confirm yet but need all details to get it into action !

Also if you could list your user name race and time here it would be great as well !

elvis jones

Just to add it could be worth your while doing it;)

Is there a prize for estimating your time correctly. I might have to round my original estimation down from a 3 hour sprint if so.

Do you want names or usernames?

Fazz

Haven't got a clue but will know a bit more after the next race/two.

Will post up estimates then before May 25th.

Bambaata

Ah sure just take a best guess Fazz ;-) I'll get something together too

elvis jones

If you don't want to post them just pm to me.

I can't say what i need them for but there might be a prize involved for just the boardies:D

I'll get a better idea after Sunday if that's on track and post a proper number then for your ridicule

Christ, the times being posted aren't intimidating at all, I swear!!!
Anybody care to join me at the back??

Amz

Still not sure if I'll enter this yet. Have to see how funds are holding up, in order to get a wetsuit.

It'll take me about two weeks to get around the sprint course if I go for it

How come a lot of the top boardies are doing the Sprint and not the Olympic? Is it easier to pick up more National Series points in the Sprint?

It is easier for most to gain a few more points, however the Olympic usually offers more ultimate points for the winner/top 3.
So top 3 or so are best off doing Olympic.
Olympic is usually more competitive regarding higher placed athletes - most will race the Olympic.
Outside of top 5 ish it prob offers more points for similar position in Sprint...
So a 10th place in sprint may offer more points than 10th in Olympic, and would generally be easier to get that place in the Sprint as most of top 10 would enter the Olympic.

However, Sprint looks quite competitive this year too so a few seem to have similar thoughts and it may balance out evenly!

Then there's BTH who is gonna man up and do both! :eek:

El Director

For me its not about the NS as that doesn't have any bearing on races i choose but hate the run course there and the thoughts of having to do it twice sends shudders! Its handy to get to for me and I'd like to compare to last years result also.

That probably explains why Mike Yelverton did the sprint last year & not the Olympic. He probably didn't want to drop points if he finished second to Bjorn Ludick.

Mike got 125.2 points for winning the Sprint comfortably (1.5mins).

Bjorn stole the show and won the Olympic comfortably for 128.6! points. - in fairness he won by 3.5 mins I think.
Dave Richardson was 2nd in Olympic and got 125.1 points.

So:
Olympic:
1st - 128.6 points
2nd - 125.1 points (3.5mins behind)
3rd - 123.67 points

Sprint:
1st - 125.2 points
2nd - 122.27 points (1.5 mins behind)
3rd - 121.2 points


Also comes down to personal preference on course and advantage regarding disciplines/distances etc.

Ah, the dead have arisen!!

Hows all with you? Getting much training in with the newborn?

Never done Athy, so basing this on last year, something like,

10:00/1:00/32:30/1:20/19:00. giving 1:03:50

Haven't a clue though.

There's no extra points for coming first (or points lost for coming second), it just depends on the ratio of your time to the 30th percentile time.
