I know what your saying Dave & i agree that all the people that line up for the group start should be willing to give it their best shot.Dave Barter wrote:And in that case Jase he is a racer, but he said he wasn't?
It's just i think that some of the faster times are so far away from what the majority of us could acheive, it's changes peoples perspective on the event. To just even finish the event within 7 days will be a massive effort for some, without taking into consideration weather conditions at the time, etc..
I would also think that Alans selection process for entry would mean that people had reached a suitible level/commitment for a start place..
