eeeek Posted February 11, 2014 Share Lots of anger here... What is eating you, Bud?Naaah, they must have got it right, because I got a much better seeding Ag, just one or two of the rides (short routes) where I worked really hard and got screwed over by them thumb sucking a winners time, plus the penalty and then applying a beta of room temperature... got a worse seeding this year than last despite the fact that I am a much better rider, and have actually worked pretty hard.

Pure Savage Posted February 11, 2014 Share From finishing middle of A group last year to C! And I PB'd- 94.7 (2:30) and 99er 2:44.... You think is worth moaning and trying to get reseeded? My mate did a 2:35 for 99er and is B, I dont think they look at place in group, more to do with times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryvdM Posted February 11, 2014 Share How can they have %, VA, VB, VM and A start together with one minute gap to B group.Can't be right???? Not sure. I got the group times from www.cycletour.co.za/index.php/information/start-times/ . I watch that to see if they change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanievb Posted February 11, 2014 Share My first Argus so i don't think U is so bad. Was thinking of s sub 3h30, but after the Herald I am now aiming for sub 3h45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewF Posted February 11, 2014 Share First time and in L - I'll take it. Coming off a, barely, sub 3 hr 94.7 (solo though) - Doubt L will make it under 3:15. We will try our best though Maybe a double lap? Ironman 2 weeks after though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wannabe Posted February 11, 2014 Share Stayed the same as the previous year. This will be the 4th time out of 12 starts I'm in F group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceres Posted February 11, 2014 Share Got VB again this year but I broke my collar bone 6 weeks ago only been on the bike again for two weeks. Still bit sore but I should be ok for the argus just worried about the start time maybe I will go down to C or B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RastaMan Posted February 11, 2014 Share First argus, And im in E, not to bad I reckon but I hear chances of doing a sub 3 after C is very small Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryvdM Posted February 11, 2014 Share Fear of ridicule? Try on PA for size... Ag, just one or two of the rides (short routes) where I worked really hard and got screwed over by them thumb sucking a winners time, plus the penalty and then applying a beta of room temperature... got a worse seeding this year than last despite the fact that I am a much better rider, and have actually worked pretty hard. PA is not a seeded group. It's a "PPA" group. Were then events you did on this list: www.cycletour.co.za/index.php/information/seeding-events/ ?

Patchelicious Posted February 11, 2014 Share I'm sure those are from 94.7 Agreed, winning time last year was 10mins slower than projected A average times. Judging by the small gaps between groups, I'm actually happy I can't make the race. Sounds like it's going to be ***. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor Du Toit Posted February 11, 2014 Share So, what are the odds on doing a sub 3 out of F bunch?? Agree about Seeding been a stuff up!!!!! Argus has given me VA seeding for last 4-5 years, (granted a bit high & not licenced) but every year they tell me my seeding is 100% correct!!!94.7 last year got VB seeding. Now in F???? So much for busting my balls from beginning Dec to have a fantastic 10th Argus… Edited February 11, 2014 by Trevor Du Toit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bob Posted February 11, 2014 Share I'm sure those are from 94.7 If it is then apologies. I was sent it from a mate on being Argus times. Ignore and go about your business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eeeek Posted February 11, 2014 Share PA is not a seeded group. It's a "PPA" group. Were then events you did on this list: www.cycletour.co.za/index.php/information/seeding-events/ ? Thanks, I'm aware that it is essentially unseeded. It's still called a seeding group none-the-less. Did last years argus in a trainwreck time (like I alluded to, I was a really rubbish rider then), but that is the only seeding event that doesn't give you a free pass into XX, YY or ZZ irrespective of time. To determine your seeding, we use your best result in Cycle Tour seeding events or the average of your best 3 other results if that is better I'm griping about the calculation of the bit after the "or".
