Agteros Posted October 21, 2012 Share 4 Weeks to go! Seeding should be out!I'm cautiously apprehensive about mine.... Hoping for something decent but not sure what to expect. Would love a C or such, hopefully it will be better than F. Times on events after winter was not very good, and events at the start of the year were generally not "official" seeding events The blurb on the website: Seeding and Start Times We have been receiving a few queries regarding your seeding and start times. To clarify - any number you may have received after completing your online entry is merely your entry/payment reference number. Our seeding run is currently in process - race numbers and start times will be emailed to all entrants during the last week of October - also look out for an SMS!

crasher Posted October 21, 2012 Share If you got a C then roughly what time would you start? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agteros Posted October 21, 2012 Share If you got a C then roughly what time would you start?In 2011 C started at 7:17. In 2010 E started at 6:56Batch sizes change in 2011, so it all depends... but 7-ish(+/- 15 minutes)? Edited October 21, 2012 by robox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leg breaker Posted October 22, 2012 Share How hard is it to do a sub 3 hour time for this race ? my recent results are 2h27min for west coast express (85km-WINDY) 5HOURS for the One tonner 160km. My only concern is my start time . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W@nna-BE Posted October 22, 2012 Share its not that easy, i am hoping to do a sub 3 hour especially as the route is slightly shorter, i did a 3h40 at the Bestmed Jacaranda 114km on Sat and i believe i was about 5 minutes of the pace for a sub 3 at the 94.7! the vibe might help me but those 5 - 8 minutes are going to be tough to shave off According to Andrew Mclean he recons that a sub3 hopeful should be doing a 110km in 3:30 by now if they want to do a sub 3, that was from an article i read in the mag we got with the BestMed start packs dated October 2012 i am looking for an updated split time calculator for this years shorter route, the one on the site still shows 97.4km , anyone know the exact distance on the shorter route? i heard something like 94km ??

Agteros Posted October 22, 2012 Share Ah I see, any idea on length of the new cycle challenge route??Heard a number of 94 odd km? I know it is shorter than last year - route change around town. Haven't plotted it on Mapsource yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agteros Posted October 22, 2012 Share Sorry but this 'friend' can't help either of you ....wrong fred. nsBB, if you apply yourself to a decent seeding you can embarrass both Saul and me on the road bike! Edited October 22, 2012 by robox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TALUS Posted October 22, 2012 Share So what time at the Sattelite "medium" would translate into sub 3? I did 2:54 (with the compulsory mechanical of 2min). Still have Babbas, wine 2 whales and 94.7MTB before then, so I could improve a bit... Please say I should be OK..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
