Tormod Posted June 21, 2007 Report Posted June 21, 2007 LOL...yeah I must have hit the close back trip button...the 5K marker is correct though. Quote
sanctus Posted June 21, 2007 Report Posted June 21, 2007 Mercedes I really love your bonus circle in the parking! Quote
Mercedes Benzene Posted June 21, 2007 Report Posted June 21, 2007 Mercedes I really love your bonus circle in the parking!Hahaa... that's the second time I've made myself laugh today. I added that little detour for amusement and in order to "waste" extra distance so I could end at my neighbor's house. Convenience and laughs. Quote
Jay-qu Posted June 21, 2007 Author Report Posted June 21, 2007 So if you end at your neighbor's house, where do you start? The maps say your elevation is max +16 from the start and min -10. Im not sure how correct it is because I know mine was def wrong.. Quote

Im not sure how correct it is because I know mine was def wrong.. Friend's house. A friend who is also running this "race" with my neighbor and I. :cocktail: We're using it as a speed workout since we have to do summer XC training everyday anyway. But yeah, I'm not sure how accurate it is, but I know that there are def some killer hill-things. We'll see. Quote
sanctus Posted June 22, 2007 Report Posted June 22, 2007 Jay-qu i just saw you don't live all to far away to where I went to school: Frankston...Anyway you all put your gmaps (what I can't because it is in the forrest and not marked on the gmap, but since it is a vita-parcours the kilometers are marked, but if you want I can put the link of of the whereabouts) but unlest TBD no times? Do you want me to start so that you can feel proud because it is a very easy time to beat? As i said I'm no more trained so it is a bad time...It's about 5k (about because where I start it reads 3km and it is a guess where the 5.5k is (only 5k and 6k are marked)) and there is in total 0 elevation but I guess it is about +/- 30m: 29'25'' Quote
Jay-qu Posted June 22, 2007 Author Report Posted June 22, 2007 Wow and we went all this time without realising ;) What school was it? I think we wont worry to much about the elevation and its not really much of a competition so dont worry about times to much. We can just keep them here as part of a personal record and if we do more we can see who improves on thier time the most :) it would be a more fair system. Quote
Tormod Posted June 22, 2007 Report Posted June 22, 2007 I'll beat you all in no time. Of course, I compete in the "People born in November 1970" age bracket. :) Quote
sanctus Posted June 22, 2007 Report Posted June 22, 2007 MT.Erin secondary college in Frankston south, I used to live ine Somerville and later in Crib point. But I gues we should discuss this elsewhere. Your proposition about times is ok, but then it is no more a competition... Quote
Tormod Posted June 22, 2007 Report Posted June 22, 2007 Your proposition about times is ok, but then it is no more a competition... Okay, let's call it the "Hypography 5K Challenge"? :) Quote
sanctus Posted June 23, 2007 Report Posted June 23, 2007 To me challenge and competition mean the same things, I would propose more something like "hypos' bests" Quote
Tormod Posted June 23, 2007 Report Posted June 23, 2007 A "challenge" is usually not competitive. It basically means "you are challenged to something" - in this setting it would mean that everyone has been challenged to run a 5K and post their times. That is very different from a competiton. ;) Quote
InfiniteNow Posted June 23, 2007 Report Posted June 23, 2007 To me challenge and competition mean the same things, I would propose more something like "hypos' bests" You see, by calling it that, Tormod, Jay-qu, and Mercedes Benzene would no longer be able to compete. :D ;) Maybe the "IRON HYPOGRAPHER," or the "IDIDERAPHY," or the "HYPOGAROD." :shade: The 5K Scramble. :rolleyes: Quote
Chacmool Posted June 23, 2007 Report Posted June 23, 2007 Well done to all of you so far! I hope you saw me standing by the side of the road to pass you a drink and cheer you on. ;) Quote
Jay-qu Posted July 5, 2007 Author Report Posted July 5, 2007 Ouch! I really needed you at the top of that 2nd hill Chacmool! I completed this course in 23mins 19seconds. Not my best but also far from my worst :D it was much more hilly than I anticipated! thats 1,399 secondsavg speed 3.6m/senergy required 1MJapprox output 700Wapprox 60g or carbs neededvery very approx 90L or carbon dioxide emmisions :D I will try again and post my progessive improvements (I hope), I have around 4 months untill the triathlon season starts up again ;) Quote
Mercedes Benzene Posted July 5, 2007 Report Posted July 5, 2007 I'll run mine in a few days hopefully. It's kinda rainy right now... so I'm not sure I want to do it in the mud. I may end up doing this course: Gmaps PedometerIt's my school's home XC course, although it's a little different from what you see here since this image was taken before last year's addition was added on to my school.
