And it looks like @amandaking and @aaronking32 are going to make sure the team competition stays close. Their runs on Tortoise & Hare this morning put the @Thundering-30s back into the lead ahead of the @Fabulous-50s. Curses!
If someone wants to take the helm of the @Thundering-30s and encourage some specific runs as I did for the @Fabulous-50s yesterday, here’s the technique. I may be biased toward the children of the 1980s, but the competition is only fun if it’s about what we do on the courses, not having inside information—the leaderboard’s insights are open to all.
Start at the Top Teams page.
Click a team name to see how that team is doing on all the courses.
Then click through the Team Points for each course. On the team page for a course, look at the Average Age Grade and Total Runs columns, and see if there’s any room for improvement.
Obviously, if Total Runs is out of reach, there’s no point in focusing on it. And it’s unlikely that anyone is going to be able to set a really fast time on a gnarly trail course like Frolic or Danby, so the Average Age Grade scores for those courses will be hard to change. But where it’s close, such as on Thom B, where Total Runs is tied, there’s room to compete. Sounds like Saturday’s group run there might involve a bit of a showdown.
May the most organized and single-minded team win!
