mecheng89 Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 When submitting results for an event, what distance should one use if the actual event was shorter than it should have been? For example, Stellenbosch Cycle Tour was advertised as 102Km, with that number being on the the results page, but in reality it was a few hundred metres short of 100km. The difference means either 600 or 1500 points. Vitality can very easily check the actual distance via all the activity uploads that they have received, but will they hold you to that?They take the official distance (not your Garmin, Strava, Polar distance), so no need to stress. Midvaal 100 isn't 100 for example. HenryS 1

The Ouzo Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 how strict are Vitality with the qualifying criteria for the high performance athlete test ?My road cycling times for the qualifying events are no where near what they want
madmarc Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 Last time I got points this quickly was when they gave 3000 points for a 100k training ride!! those were the days when Disco had no idea how far cyclist actually ride during training Veebee 1
The Ouzo Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 Just remember that there is a difference between the endurance and high performance categories. Anyone who completed the CTCT last year is eligible for the endurance category. You would have had to do it in a stupidly fast time to be high performance.hmm I missed that.will click onto the disco site now and investigate

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 how strict are Vitality with the qualifying criteria for the high performance athlete test ?My road cycling times for the qualifying events are no where near what they want Not at all. Answer the questions to the best of your ability (ie know what answer they're looking for and answer accordingly) and BAM. You're in.
The Ouzo Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 Not at all. Answer the questions to the best of your ability (ie know what answer they're looking for and answer accordingly) and BAM. You're in. I did the online questionnaire for the endurance athlete, so I will at least now earn more points for my longer training rides.
lechatnoir Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 Not at all. Answer the questions to the best of your ability (ie know what answer they're looking for and answer accordingly) and BAM. You're in. so game the system then? I cannot confirm or deny having done this but seriously, someone entering the endurance track will probably end up getting their annual allocation anyway, whether 900 or 1200 per week Captain Fastbastard Mayhem and Kerchak 2
