Older Posted January 21, 2010 Share If you start the at the same time as last year but in a lower group does it mean your seeding is the same as last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterM Posted January 21, 2010 Share If you start the at the same time as last year but in a lower group does it mean your seeding is the same as last year? More-or-less. The real tell-tale is your start number which is like your seeding number. So if you were in 2009 in group F and had a start number of +-4500; and this year, 2010, you are in E and your start number is +-4100 then your seeding has improved. Same with our finishing time - we are too focused on the actual time (3h59 vs 4h01) but the finishing ranking (4755th / 28 000) is more telling than the time, as circumstances change each year (weather, rain, wind, route, Boys drive, etc). One of the brilliant aspects of the Argus is that it is our national cycling benchmark. 30 000 ride it on the same day in similar circumstances. Makes comparing results quite easy. i am really looking forward to the Argus!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
