Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

A/R TT....Round 2 - 1 mile TT, Saturday May 30th *** please read post #1 ***
-
03-05-2020 9:34am#1Swashbuckler and myself will give B a very well deserved rest after his heroics in organising the great 5k TT we had. There seemed to be quite a bit of interest in having a followup event or two. It seemed that opinions were divided on what the next distance should be so we have set up this poll to decide the matter without 20 pages of back and forth discussion.
As before we'll try to compile overall results, age category results and an age graded result. Any help with correcting tables as we go along will be greatly appreciated.
The date of the TT will be dependent on the chosen distance.
The poll closes in 4 days from Sunday morning. One vote per person.
Attention: Please do not update the table. Post any changes you would like made or new entries as a post in the thread. We will update the table every few days. Thanks.
Event: One Mile TT
Date: Saturday 30th of May....any time of the morning, noon or night that suits you. If you're from the AMK school of toughness you might even do 2 or 3.
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.
Entry Fee: Absolutely free!! If anyone feels like making good use of a virtual entry fee we would be delighted if you threw a few bob in this direction. https://www.darknessintolight.ie/sunrise-appeal
AOB: Link to the Strava group....https://www.strava.com/clubs/652032
If you join the Strava group could you post on it and mention your Boards username.
When putting your details into the table here would you mind putting in your actual age rather than age category. It's the only way we can work out age grading for the mile.
Thanks for taking part. It's brilliant to see so many new faces as well as many returning ones....

There's always one! :pac:
No,there is no way to change the poll once it has been set up. I was going to say sadly but it would probably result in loads of people flipflopping.
Your friend will just have to learn from their fat finger moment.

I'd run a mile TT.
Maybe then a week later do another 5km TT I'd get people to run new 5k TT on the same route again. The position you finish will be the percentage of improvement you make. Because some 5ks were flat, some down hill, some up hill. It will make it fair that way. Run another mile TT later again and have the winner on percentage improved too
Tell Johnny you want him to run the same route again! :pac:
Ah there are different ways to look at it S. Your way is very good in the spirit of a competition. At the same time it's only asking people to TT the same distances over and over again. Perhaps going out of the comfort zone and TTing rarely raced distances would be beneficial.
Let's just find out what distance the next one is. P and I will sort out some rules for that and then the next volunteers can consider future TTs 0 -

Well folks, due to the high volume of voting already done we are going to make a decision on the TT distance at midday tomorrow as there cannot be many people left to vote. If you haven't already done so, get it done. We really need to move very quickly to get this TT done before Itziger's birthday!! 0

Ok people. We're calling this early. The vote has been pretty much a landslide. It'll be a One Mile TT
Votes were as follows:
One Mile: 48
3k: 8
5k: 10
4 mile: 3
5 mile: 6
10k: 9
The TT is to be done on Saturday 30th May.
Course options are strictly to be Out and Back or a mile loop. No smaller loops allowed. A straight mile is ok if there is no net elevation loss. If you need to do either a small bit more or less than a loop to complete the mile there cannot be net elevation loss.
Swashbuckler has set up a Boards 1M TT Strava group. Please join this and DM either of us with your name so that we can connect names to usernames.
We will start a table as soon as the entries build. Please include a predicted time as well :P
Now get out there and brush up on those speed sessions!!0 -

The Lidl loop is the legit one! It's the industrial estate where the magic happens 0 -
