I'm pretty sure that you only need to enter names on the morning of the race. Our team will most likely be me, Haile Gebrselassie, Usain Bolt, Caster Semenya, Steve Ovett and Paula Radcliffe. And they all want me to do the Nav leg!!Originally Posted by harrymoon
It probably means that the category is "to be confirmed".
That can still be changed on-line to Open, Ladies, Vet40 etc.
Names for each leg should be entered by tonight but changes can be made at registration, I think!
Swoop - does this mean that you can be in the Altrincham ladies team?
If he has a shave he might get away with it
I believe (I will double check with Harry tomorrow - ask at registration if you need further clarification) that we will have a marshal at the top of the track at the start of the flagged section to direct people. On leg 2 you would have to either make some bizzare route choice to avoid him, or sneak past in camouflage as there is only one sensible way off of Low Pen, it'll won't be much different on leg 4 although there are two different ways to approach the track junction. (There is a third way to get from Sharp Knott to Knock Murton which avoids the start of the flagged section totally - but you will lose time if you go that way).Good Question!
The Checkpoints should be the mandatory controls - are you DQ'd for missing a flagged section even if you make it through all the CPs correctly?
If so, shouldn't the start of a flagged section also be a CP?
Note that the marshal will not be taking numbers - unless you disregard his instructions.
TBH there is very little difference in the alternative approaches up Knock Murton coming from this direction, and I think the main reason for the flagging was to ensure we didn't lose people in the woods, and to direct everyone to the one stile along the fence at the top of the tree line.
Look - I'm an awkward sod!
If I am on Leg 1 and get to CP3 - then I make the bizarre decision to go to Lamplugh down the track, and make my way back to the Start/Finish area via the road - would I be DQd for missing the flags?
Will be very interesting to see how Usain gets on. If he doesn't turn up Martin I hope to see you doing the Bolt Arrow at the finish instead!
There's only one Wharfee team in this race Daleside...the A Team!
Are you runnin'?
I challenge you to an Angels v A Team film!
I won't comment on your first statement, and given that I'm not in charge of flagging, the courses or marshalling I'm hesitant to comment on the second. However, I have stayed awake in all of the committee meetings
so I know what the intend has been on this and to me mandatory means mandatory so delibrately missing the flags as you suggest (which can only be delibrate for leg 1) would get you and your team DQd.
On legs 2 & 4 up Knock Murton there is one corner on the track that all sensible route choices come to, if you then ignore the flags from that point I believe you (and hence your team) will be DQd.
I will double check this with those in charge of the course and if you have any questions please bring them to me at registration.
