Calderdale Way Relay

[manothemoors]

Apologies if this is asking a bit much as we're in disgrace! I'm guessing there are still official times somewhere for the disqualified teams. Is there any chance they could be posted somewhere or added to the bottom end of the results? For anyone like me who's too tight to buy a watch, just want to know how we went on compared to everyone else!

Which team? I've already asked on behalf of wharfedale.

[Brad Foot]

Airedale Athletics please! We're a team of tryers not superstars so some of the lads must have run out of their skins (not to mention their waterproof tops!!) to be in the top 5. Many thanks if we can get the leg times.

I'll try.

Much obliged ! We had a great day in any case; Cheers to everyone at Halifax who makes it happen !

Apparently the times have been emailed to someone at your club...presumably the person who does the entries.

That'll be the lad who lost his top!! Thanks very much, hope he's not lost the e-mail! Cheers.:thumbup:

Not strictly true, they were in 4th place but there were no marshalls. I was on London Road watching and saw Jack fall near the bottom. I gave Jack a lift to the end of the leg and told his partner to carry on well before they got to the road. I had to rush to get my lift to leg 5 after i dropped him off.

Cheers for helping with Jack Dan it was very much appreciated - he was gutted to not reach the clean underfoot running he'd been look forward to from the start! I was his partner and as you say we were a little shy of the road by the time i set off again, def lost 5 min+ though...haven't read back or checked the results yet...were we dq'd?

Comment is free but I do not wish to start a debate on here. I really only commented to support the DSQ at the CWR but:

i) the current wording in 9 c says "map and compass suitable for navigating the course" so if someone turns up with an AA road map and a compass from a Xmas cracker the RO can just say "good joke but you aren't running so 'bye" and the FRA will support that approach. So long as the RO complies with the FRA rules he/she can do what they want. It is their event.

ii) I am not trailing the changes because the work is in progress but we will clarify full body cover.

The present rules are pretty clear, it's only through people trying to around them that there is a need for ' clarification' I'm sure that Graham and his fellow sub committee are well placed for the job in hand.

The rules are very clear and that's fair enough (I also don't know what all the DSQ's were for) but I hope everyone reading this thread doesn't think that the disqualified teams/individuals were deliberately seeking to get round the rules.

There's a world of difference between leaving/losing/dropping kit and going out of one's way to seek an advantage.

Not if you die of hypothermia.
