3rd Annual Snails Pace Prediction Run
Jan 26th, 2010, 2:54pm
 
Hi Everyone,  
At the Feb 11th club run, we are going to have our third annual Prediction Run.  For those who participated in the past, there are a few changes:
  
- its going to be solo instead of as partners.  
- its going to be a loop around the Rose bowl, rather than "whatever you want"
- its going to start at 7pm sharp, so people have a chance to get there at 6:30 and warmup a little bit.
 
  1st prize-closest to predicted time
  2nd prize- 2nd closest to predicted time
  3rd prize- 3rd place in the Age grade will win a prize.  
 
What is Age-Grade?

What is the point of the 3rd place prize?  So someone else wins something and it makes you come to the club meeting.  
 
Prizes will be awarded at the club meeting following the prediction run.  You must attend the club meeting to get your prize, otherwise you'll get bumped!
 
The only rule-  No time-keeping devices are allowed to be worn while you run.  That includes watches, cell phones, pedometers, anything with a time.

After some brainstorming, I am going to change the Third place to being a prize for LAST PLACE.  Thats right, whoever has the WORST prediction will win Third place.  However, at my discretion, I can determine that you tanked your guess.  Then I will disqualify you.  For example, John M. predicting that he will run the loop in 40 min.  Or Jaime predicting he will run the loop in 15.  
It has to be a realistic guess.  You can try to trick me though.  i.e. Jaime guessing 30, then running it in 25.
