Li Mu Bai Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) I still havent received an answer on my reseeding query. Guess they just started ignoring people. Yup. same here. pointless exercise. received my 'official paper' in the post, still E, after a 3:04 last year, nuts... It still doesnt make sense to me: Argus 2011 finished 1404 out of the field of 28990, 94.7 2011 finished 1380 out of the field of 17543, and now my Argus number is 5400 odd - how on earth do I drop 4000 places on the start grid? I am pretty sure they have not reduced the bunch sizes by much.their seeding system is seriously f.......d up this year... Edited February 22, 2012 by Rude
dev null Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 PA bunch; 9h16. This is my first Argus. Did Die Burger with my son (44km), so obviously it could not help with my seeding. I should be able to maintain around 28km/h average. Unfortunately I have not done enough training, I was surfskiing too much lately. At least my fitness should be OK. Hoping to come in at around 4 hours. Looking for a guy on a yellow BMC that stops every 10kms to use an Asthma inhaler. Have not had the time to go and get proper prevention treatment yet.

Boet, your general fitness should carry you through The surfski'ing should have your core working and the legs will just have to follow. I remember the days that I swam and did lifesaving. The swimming carried me well for the various water events and beach running.
Ratty Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Yup. same here. pointless exercise. received my 'official paper' in the post, still E, after a 3:04 last year, nuts...

I am pretty sure they have not reduced the bunch sizes by much.their seeding system is seriously f.......d up this year... I finally got an answer: For some riders, if we see that they have results for other non-seeding events that we can see qualify them for an earlier start than their seeding events do, we give them the benefit of the doubt and seed them accordingly. What a load of BULL !!! The only road race my dad did that I haven't done since the 2010 Argus is the Cape Cobra on the 21st Jan 2012 where he did a slow time. We have done 1 or 2 different mtb races, but they were over short distances so don't see how those can affect our times. So frustrating. I've asked them now to explain what other criteria they use as in our case it can't be th results that is causing a difference of 50 minutes.
