My tea cosy was considered a hazardous item in the wind so remained at home in the drawer. I ran 4.42....with a tailwind!

Brilliant. I hadn't spot it on Strava.

1 - I don't have to do anything else on Strava right? I think Skyblue can see me and that's enough? I don't have to make myself more public? :pac:

Assuming you've joined the strava group and messaged skyblue with your boards name and Strava name then that's it.

2 - I just program a mile into the watch, go and stop when it beeps at me (after the little warning beeps)? I don't have to do any extra 0.01 of a mile or anything?

Yeah, you just have to do a mile but you have to be careful that the route you select doesn't have a significant elevation drop.

Would it be fair to assume that if you found you stopped the watch too late you could use Strava's crop feature to trim off the excess?

was trying that at the weekend, seems to be a bit of a blunt tool, goes back in 100m increments ..
was thinking about setting up a 1 mile segment on where i plan to run it and then it should be recorded regardless of whether i stop the watch or not , and if i put a pace on it , it should tell me if im ahead or behind pace ..

Yes, what everyone needs to do is in the first post in the thread. P and I will not be scrolling through our personal feeds to see times of anyone not in the group. We will only look in the Strava group for mile TTs. We will then match real names with the Boards names ye have posted on the group posts or have sent to us via DM. Don't assume we know who you are otherwise. It just takes a couple of minutes to post your Boards name on the Strava group if you haven't already done it. Thanks folks.

Put me in for 5.40. M40. I'll try it on the same route as Itziger and CrazyFred, maybe going off at 2 or 3 minute intervals.

I hear ya B.

The unseasonably good weather has brought turf saving forward a whole month here so my pacer the Massey Ferguson 165 is now out of commission.

My mate has suggested that his elderly aunt runs like clockwork on Saturdays with an early morning trip to town to get the messages in her 94 Toyota Carina E. She never gets out of second gear but I don't know, she operates an extended social distance radius as it is and the sight of me huffing, puffing and sweating in her rear view mirror would surely trigger a move to third gear in a puff of black smoke.

Disaster!

Looks warm for much of Ireland for Saturday. The east has been getting the highest temps of late, so we could be looking at 24 in the Greater Dublin area.

Early or late? :cool:

Very early start for me. That way, there'll be nobody around to see me as I pace up and down furiously, telling myself to go through with it.

FINAL REMINDER

Having spent some time cross referencing Boards usernames with names on the Strava group we still have a very small number of people here who have either not joined the Strava group or joined it but not posted their Boards usernames.

So....Zebra3, slow_runner, ultrapercy, Yaboya and ahnowbrowncow if you could please join the Strava group and/or identify yourselves on it that would be brilliant.

4 more sleeps!!

Having considered my target time (nothing to do with peer pressure) I would like to change my time to 5.10, Go hard or go home time.

With apologies I have to withdraw. I am injured again. Old age is a curse. Good to luck everyone on Saturday.

My work here is done although the irony of the fact that I have since dropped out of said TT is not lost on me...

Apologies to the organisers- was holding out as long as possible to see if I'd be able to run this, but not looking good, so with regret, I'll be a DNS...
