It was a bit of a zoo at the start – but a load of Guelph Victors turned out last Tuesday night for the first benchmark run of the season, which had been delayed by a week. We apologize for the tardiness in posting, but your results are online now, at the Victors website, as well as photos, courtesy of David Brooks:
You’ll find a wealth of information there if you check not only your finish time, but your individual lap splits. How even were your lap times? Most people run a little faster in the early going, struggle a bit on laps 6 and 7, and manage to pull it together for a faster last lap. But overall, your lap splits should be pretty similar, with variations of only a few seconds. You can use this past week’s time trial as a guide for pacing next time around – aim to run every lap at your average pace from this week (or a little faster). Even pacing will yield the best result.
If you ran the time trial, but don’t see your result (or have an incomplete result or have a question about your result), please go to the website and send us an inquiry through the right-hand sidebar (that sends an email to multiple people). We had a number of complications we didn’t anticipate in timing this week’s run, and we’ll do a better job of distributing chips and dividing runners between heats next time around, on June 7.
Thanks to everyone who helped out at the time trial, especially David Brooks, John Marsden, Brad Morley, Isaac Wismer, and Tim Uuksulainen.
Injured? Weary? We can still use you
Even if you’re not running, we can still use you at the Tuesday track workouts. Each week we like to have volunteer timers, to call out lap splits, and we’ll give you stop watch and put you to work. So please come out and help make it a better workout for everyone else. But let us know in advance, so we can slot you into our volunteer schedule. Email coach David Brooks at least a day before the Tuesday workout.
