onetrackmind Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Posting again-What is the procedure for cycling the route twice? Does one simply walk into the starting pens at the back? Does the timing chip not get picked up by the mats (is it best to take the chip off)? Do the officials not check numbers etc. and disqualify your result?Thinking of doing the second lap with my dad who starts late.Not permitted any more.

liebenw Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 I know there is this mystique around a sub 3 Argus. But your best year should really be your best finishing position. The numbers have remained at around 35000 for the last number of years so you have goos base to see if you had a good, better or real crappy race based on where you finished overall.
TNT1 Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 After 28 years of cycling no Argus yet. You're not missing much.
Tankman Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 After 28 years of cycling no Argus yet. How many times have you been asked: "So, what is your fastest Argus time?" in that 28 years?
Underachiever Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 14 odd, but haven't done one the past 5 years, been there, done that.......... 2:41 back in '86

Tiny K Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 2nd one this year - last year was my first @ 3:41:01 - started out too fast and started cramping up little chappies..... not making that mistake again this year. Â Had lots of learning from MariusL, Wannabe and Airbender - so I have a strategy for race day.
