Next Road Running and Walking League Race 

Sat 18 Feb 2012 - TUKS Bestmed

21.1 KM & 10 KM Running & Walking

Start 06h00

 

After the Muller Potgieter Race, the Final 2011 League logs standings were:

Walking League (98 KB Excel)

Super League (99 KB Excel)

Running League (142 KB Excel)

 

We ended up in 10th place in Div 2 of the Running League (effectively 30th of 92 clubs = in the top 27.62%),
33rd in the Male Super League (of 71 qualifying clubs = in the top 23.43%),
13th in the Female Super League (of 48 qualifying clubs = in the top 6.24%) and
12th in the Walking League (of 56 participating clubs = in the top 6.72%).
 
So, our élite Ladies fared best in relation to their competition, finishing in the top 6.24%! Well done ladies!
 
Our Walkers were only .48% behind the élite ladies with 8 more clubs competing, finishing in the top 6.72%.
 
However, with a lot more active participation in League events we could obviously do a lot better.
 
 
Many years ago, we won the Running League and we won the Walking League for a couple of years running very recently (before the rules were changed).
 
So, perhaps consider trying to include as many of the following League Races as possible in your planning of the races that you will do in 2012, as we could obviously do a LOT better in 2012, with more participation, since the points are allocated on a handicap basis in relation to the number of licences sold.
 
So, obviously, a higher proportion of Skillies participating in League events in 2012 will translate into more points relative to other clubs.
 
 
 
Let's see if we can do better in the 2012 League!
