Then the best all around runner wins.<br /><br />Just a thought anyways.<br /><br />So if you run a 100 in 13, the 200 in 26, the 400 in 57, the 800 in 2:06, the 1500 in 4:15 and the 3000 in 9:00 you would get:<br /><br />13 x 40 = 8:40<br />26 x 20 = 8:40<br />57 x 9 = 8:33<br />2:06 x 4 = 8:24<br />4:15 x 2 = 8:30<br />9:00 x 1 = 9:00<br /><br />Total Time: 51:47Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3885471963370929775.post-78640294855428391982009-07-05T19:01:07.470-04:002009-07-05T19:01:07.470-04:00Judging from the other events I would guess betwee...Judging from the other events I would guess between 10 and 20 minutes. It all depends on the number people entered <br /><br />Being this would a first time (organizing wise) for most of us to do something like this, I would prefer to keep it small and produce a quality event.Cool Down Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13826301593012369401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3885471963370929775.post-40185514976697983962009-07-04T23:22:44.854-04:002009-07-04T23:22:44.854-04:00Bill, I think this would be something cool to setu...Bill, I think this would be something cool to setup, as I have heard / seen events like this before. As you noted, it would have to be done low-key at first... but I think those involved would have a great time and an opportunity at a fantastic 'workout'.<br /><br />Just curious, what amount of rest interval would you propose during each event?Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14590006708155400157noreply@blogger.com
