So... you know the way it's really annoying when people post in a thread that's been going for pages and ask questions that have definitely already been answered? Yeah? This totally isn't that..... but... what are the rules around route again???
I know it was out and back or one big loop, but did it change to allow a point-to-point as long as it's not net elevation loss, or only a tiny bit? We're taking elevation as measured on Garmin right? Starting to think I should probably have picked a route (or three, like some people
) before now :pac: 0 -

You don't have a route :eek:
From the 2 very strict organizers
Course: Wherever you want it to be! 2 simple rules (because I know B would be upset if I went all soft) are that there are no multiple loop courses or net downhill miles going to be included in results.0 -

In all honesty me and S won't have time to trawl through elevation profiles. There's gonna be 100 results to find, tabulate and cut the data so that'll be time consuming enough.
I'm off work until next Thursday. Time is not an issue
There won't be any pisstaking routes appearing on the Roll of Honour be that overall, age category or age grading. I haven't been a b0llix this long to suddenly turn nice! :rolleyes:I'm speaking on behalf of myself. Maybe S might get notions after a few beers. Haha.
Pre beers S has his mind made up already!
Edit: The only pisstaking that will be allowed is if anyone is fooked after 800m and needs to take a rest break. Just post on Strava that you encountered an infantry batallion and we will, out of the kindness of our good hearts, make an exception.0 -

Grand, that all sounds reasonable. Better just pick something so!Swashbuckler wrote: »From my perspective the rules can all be handled with one sentence "if you think your route is taking the piss then you're probably taking the piss".

So no small loops,Track loops are OK.
Point to point isn't the end of the world but be honest with yourself. If the wind is at your back for a mile then why bother? If there's a 100m drop in profile, then why bother?

probably but won't happen!!
Getting nervous now myself, decided it was a good idea to bring the family along for moral support and a day out with some action, I know i'm going to regret that decision....Maybe they will all be tired tomorrow and I can slink off on my own0 -

As I sit here in the garden sipping a nice cold beer that ship has certainly sailed for me!!
Getting my excuses in now:
Haven't trained for mile races, just been getting the miles in
It's the OH birthday today so takeaway and beers is order of the day
I'm a stone overweight (damn you Cadburys)
Bailed on my last 2 5k TTs so don't know how I'll hold up on this one.
On the other hand never raced a mile before so should be a PB 😠looki g at the forecast gonna use the track for this, mile not marked so will be a measuring tape for the extra 9m0 -

Hazy Jane....usually a pretty Hazy Johnny here when I drink those. Potent stuff! But delicious... Clockwork Tangerine very nice as well. Got me a couple of those 5L Rascals Yankee IPA kegs for the weekend that's in it

That's it folks! Entries are closed
We will shortly be removing anyone from the Strava group who is not on this list and making the group private so that you know that any runs you see on it tomorrow are connected to the TT.
Fógra: Could you please identify your TT on Strava tomorrow in the run title. It will just make it easier for us when trawling through the many TTs, warm ups, strides and cooldowns which will be on the feed.
We would also ask for a little bit of patience when it comes to results. We are unlikely to be as prompt as the organiser of the previous TT as we fully intend to enjoy tomorrow's sunshine to the full......and possibly a few beers as well.
A last reminder...if you're thinking of running Chesterfield Ave in one direction start at the Parkgate end, if you plan on Griffith Avenue start at the Marino end and if you're looking at the Avenue in St Anne's Park then run the Wade lap! :pac::pac: For everyone else...keep it fair and enjoy!
From both of us, a big thank you for your input on the thread. Go out early tomorrow and give it socks. Best of luck to all
