Sheffield Urban Sprint Double

[Scott]

If part of the Nopesport Urban League, shouldn't all events be in the same format?

Why? What's wrong with a bit of variety?

Personally, I'd much rather clubs have the freedom to plan the courses in whatever format they think best suits the area. So long as everybody knows what they're getting, I can't see the problem.

Why is a chasing start so unpopular. I think they're brilliant and were even more so when I was a fit young guy.

Proof by assertion.

Just as he says the [nope]cartel should dictate the format of our races Mind you, I wonder what mharky would do given that chance !

Just a heads up that online entries on Fabian close for the Lincoln City race a week on Sunday, with only limited EOD after that.

Another reminder is that early (cheaper) entries for the Sheffield Urban Sprint Double close this Sunday 22nd.

Online entries close a week on Monday, ie they close on Monday 30th. There will be limited entry on the day.

Final details now posted. A decision on whether to have fixed start times will be taken next week.

Last reminder that online entries on Fabian close for the Lincoln City race tomorrow at midnight, with only limited EOD after that. Final details should be posted on the LOG website by Tuesday evening.

Start list for the first race at Sheffield is now online.

The details said you can start whenever you want: "It is NOT a chasing sprint, you start whenever you want (in the start times above) for each race."

So is that a change to the information in the final details then? Will we still be able to start anytime for the second race or, if you're doing a list for that race, can we request an early start so that we can head off to Lincoln earlier rather than later (we know Sheffield already so Lincoln will be the better place for spending more time!!!).

So is that a change to the information in the final details then?

Yes, to reduce the risk that everyone turns up at once and a huge queue forms.

Will we still be able to start anytime for the second race or, if you're doing a list for that race, can we request an early start so that we can head off to Lincoln earlier rather than later.

There'll be "suggested start blocks" for the second race start times, but special requests should be possible.

Provisional results.

Final results and routegadget, etc will follow, after the results computing manager gets back from the Peter Palmer Relays.

Thanks SYO for a fun race today. I’m not a sprinter (and even slower than normal at the moment with an injured foot!) but 2 courses, 3kms in total and 33 controls to find kept my mind firmly on the map and not on the pain of running

Top event today, SYO crew - let's hope we can match that tomorrow....
