Prozac Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 I am a normal human and will be in for the 121 km , See you at the back of the pack . . . ! Back of the pack and ready for another "bleeding session" nice !
Blue Monster Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Why do people do this? By dropping back you are making the group bigger again.Also, the people in the BL group see your AL number and do not know they are racing against you. Why can people not stick to their groups? ps: Not an attack, a valid question being asked.The reason is quite simple.I am approaching my training peak for the Argus. I am pretty much knackered all the time. I don't think I could run in the top half of the AL batch, where it is likely to be safer. With all the accidents from this last weekend, I would prefer to be further up the field.With a BL start, I might be able to even help out at the front.I just don't want to crash this close to Argus.

Frosty Posted February 17, 2014 Author Posted February 17, 2014 The VA and VB are expected to do close to 40Km/h for the 120km, maybe a little quicker

SurferChild Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 The VA and VB are expected to do close to 40Km/h for the 120km, maybe a little quickerYou're about right.... Having a look at the results from the R4S this past weekend which is also in the east valley the VA's averaged 42km/h.

TALUS Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 I like the variable starting times. Somebody has been thinking. Frosty 1
Frosty Posted February 17, 2014 Author Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) Thanks Talus, we've been doing this since 2008 when we changed the Elite distance. Gets a little easier the more we do it. The groups starting later don't really like it, but safety is key Edited February 17, 2014 by geraldm24 GaryvdM 1
