in #competition6 years ago

Here we go again. We have some new players in this game as well as some seasoned veterans back to face the challenge once more.

Will their experience be the winning factor for them, or will one of the newbies trounce them with their own cunning tactics? This will be an interesting race, with everything to play for.

And what are they playing for?

  • 1st place – 20SBD
  • 2nd place – 10SBD
  • 3rd place – 5SBD

Here is who we have playing this time:

So let’s get started

Runners, you need to tell me:

  • How fast you intend to run – a number from 1-15 (you can use decimal places if you like e.g. 5.5)
  • How many hours you intend to run for – a number from 1-2 (you can use a decimal for partial hours e.g. 1.5)
  • How many energy gels you will consume – a number from 0 – however many gels you have (whole numbers only)
  • If you want to rest, how long you intend to rest (in hours) – a number from 1-2

NOTE: for this game you can only run OR rest for each turn. You can only do one thing per turn.

Runners have until 8am tomorrow New Zealand time, to tell me their choices. Anyone not replying in the next 24 hours will be classed as DNF (Did Not Finish).

Remember, this race is all about managing the damage. Get to know the course and where you can run fast and where you have to run slow. Get it right, and you can cover a lot of ground. Get it wrong, and you can end up walking for the rest of the race.
Check out the official website for the race and also check Strava for course maps and times.

On your marks, get set, GO!

Kind reminder:

Remember to vote your Running Author of the week!

something seems to be missing today

Simple right? But wait, there’s more…
The course for this race is based on a real ultra marathon course – the Wellington Urban Ultra. Each kilometre of the course is graded with a value from 1-15.

1 = very steep and / or rough so you can only go slowly.
15 = smooth flat running

so, guessing Wellington, where nothing is level

Speed = 6
Time = 2
Gels = 1

How fast: 4.5
How long: 2
Gel: 1

How fast: 7
How many hours: 1.2
Gels: 0
Rest: 0

The Champ is here lol
Speed: 5.64
Hours: 2
Gels: 1

Run 2 hours at 7km no gels
