2-D Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 title of video does say 2010? My mistake... As for the heat thing Patches, it would work.. but say you wanna run this as an endurance or as in the video with a limit of hour.. here we have logistic issues

geecee Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 just make it a single run. a bit longer on the xc and dh. 2 runs and best run or an average of both wins.no need to do the endurance vibe
geecee Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 or make the xc a bit longer to allow shuttle times between runs
patches Posted November 7, 2012 Author Posted November 7, 2012 or make the xc a bit longer to allow shuttle times between runs yeah, that's what I was thinking. But I think the very nature of gravity will dictate this anyway. Depending on location, one could have up to a 1:4 time ratio for DH vs XC. For example, what may take 5min to descend, could easily take 20min to climb. Plus the climbing route has to be different, so as you say, it can be a lot longer.
patches Posted November 7, 2012 Author Posted November 7, 2012 Done! so when do we start planning? why? you keen to put your lycra on and race up some climbs? If such an event were to occur locally, I think the teams would be interesting. We'd have guys like Tiaan Odendaal teaming up with Max Knox, giving us plebs almost zero chance of podium
geecee Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 it would have to be timed and tallied up at the end. unless you run XC first up to the dh point with the dh guys waiting for the pass over then the dh bomb the route. that way you should thin the field a little for the dh section but still a little dodgy

Staggered start as per normal in DH. As for a 1 or 2hr enduro format, starts could still be staggered (ie. each team's time limit starts 2 min apart), but there could still be a problem when a fast teams catches up and laps a slow team on the DH section. Whew, this pretend-organizing is hard work Edited November 7, 2012 by patches
