A special KGV training session offering some real race pace spice on a Tuesday evening.
The WADAC XC relays will be for teams of 3 athletes - pre-selected and mixed so as to try and have balanced teams across the event.
The course will be an approx 1km loop around the KGV fields and each team shall complete 2 legs of 3laps and 1 leg of 4laps.
KGV is not the hilliest of courses but it will be real racing, XC in nature and spikes friendly. Much of the course will be in darkness following a trail of lit cones so you may wish to bring a headtorch to help with sighting your footing. The start/finish area will be lit (with borrowed light from next door) and this lit area provides a spectator zone which the athletes will pass through every lap.
The first legs will be starting at 19.00, please be there early enough to meet up with your team mates and do your own warm-up in time for your leg start.
The event will be a simple box to box relay with social distancing and no batons.
This is a real first across the line team relay race but each athlete is also asked to record their own leg timing on their watch and submit that into the DDD so that individual times and bragging rights are properly maintained. Scoring will count towards the Virtual GP#2.
Please register for this event using this registration facility and do provide an estimate of your likely 5k race time on a level road course. Remember this XC course is over generally level ground with good footing so please no false modesty - your road times over 5k are a suitable proxy for this event.
We will try and balance the teams and it is always much more fun if the teams are as even as possible.
Any questions please just ask
Steve
