Hi All,
Provisional start times for next week.

PS. you might be thinking that the computer has been relatively nice to you by giving you an earlier start (well not you Rory!) but look at the start times of the faster lads! I have let the computer decide the start times by:
1. estimating the time it took you to climb the hill
2. taking the average of your laps last week and multiplying by 4
3. adding the two figures above together and
4. subtracting from 19:40.
This will give MUCH closer racing than previously. It is vital that you:
1. DO NOT call your number the first time that you pass the timers (i.e. immediately after you have climbed from the start).
2. Call out your number LOUD and CLEAR as you get to the timers. Mumbling your number as you cross the line causes problems for the timers, me and everyone who wants to see their results as soon after the race as possible.
3. When you finish do not stand next to or in front of the timers.
4. Do not talk to the timers (i.e. "can I see the times?"). They have to record the times of everyone else that has yet to finish.
5. Naturally enough, people have been collapsing to the ground immediately after finishing. Due to the small finish area this quickly results in congestion and problems for the timers (they have difficulty hearing the racers who are finishing). DO NOT stop here. Continue on around the corner and collapse there :-)
