jacokoe Posted February 13, 2019 Share Would love to get the communities insight on my allocated seeding for the CTCT. This is my first ever road race, I’ve done many MTB some stage some day only. I’m a keen cyclist over a many a years and over the last 4-5 months been commuting 30kms a day 4days a week on a fixie. I’ve been seeded at 5K, generally speaking what is the skill setbof this bunch? Do i need to try and squeeze in the last seeding? Feedback appreciated. Edited February 13, 2019 by jackoekoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure Savage Posted February 13, 2019 Share Was hoping for a $ start but got put in &. I saw you mentioned your index was below one so I checked your start group and you're "&" too. How low of an index do you need to get to be over 30 and to start in $??There is nobody in $, yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone on their own. Good way to do first Argus, enjoy! Starchboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase619 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Ah I forgot... time for the annual "I have this amazing seeding but had no idea how it happened, I'm gonna die!!!" tradition to start. Friendly request - if you are seeded in the racing group you worked for it and deserve it, don't pretend to be surprised because I won't believe you. Also time for the annual: "I'm seeded in [insert group here], what's my chances of making a Sub 3?" Long Wheel Base and LeoKnight 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rouxenator Posted February 14, 2019 Share Also time for the annual: "I'm seeded in [insert group here], what's my chances of making a Sub 3?"I've come within 5 minutes of 3 hours, and was not disappointed at all. That is because I am not pushing for a sub 3. Easy way to avoid disappointment. Same can be said for a sub 4 K2C. If it happens, it happens - if not, meh, everything is a fun ride if you are brave enough. I know this is a bit of cliché, but how did my 5:45 One Tonner bag me 1B?

Jase619 Posted February 14, 2019 Share No I didn't, fact. Next fact, if I have an amazing day and the wind doesn't blow which it obviously won't in my experience of 1 CTCT, I will roll my 95 kilos through in 345 at best - Is this commensurate with my seeding ?- If so I stand corrected and I deserve my seeding. I'm not one who said I did cr@p in an exam and then aced it. By the way, I checked and my seeding came off a 50km Mtb race, one of the 3 events I rode in 2018. I won't start with my group because I will be a hazard. I'm sorry your view of the world is so cynical Relax man, sheesh, he was making an observation on the general trend that repeats itself every year. See my comment below. Same thing. Next we will hear the bitching about having to trek to the expo and how its a waste of time bla bla bla. No need to get your mammaries in a twist.

Wannabe Posted February 14, 2019 Share 2C, down from 1H last year. Probably to be expected, if the last race you did was the 2018 CTCT. Dadbod Racing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mamil Posted February 14, 2019 Share Ja... especially the way you have to be herded past every single stand before you can escape. Although this year I might just buy myself a little something.

One tonner has bigger weighting and that's a good time...and you a PPA.mem er bumped up 3 groups just because! Rouxenator 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably does not count in my favour that One tonner was the last time I was on the road bike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
