Boeing Reserve Handicap
Sunday, 22 August 2010 22:16
Once again some hearty club members headed down to Strathmore, to compete for personal pride in the the Boeing Reserve Handicap Race. Since the Saturday evening of last years event, the Upton super computer, big enough to fill a lounge room, has been preforming complex algorithms and calculations. Feed on a diet of each competitors personal results, it regurgitates one of the most accurate (or so we are told) handicap programs available.
While the race course is now well know, many runners realized for the first time why the park is named 'Boeing Reserve'. Its because the return leg feels like you are running head first into the jet stream of Boeing 747!!
Full results are below

for the distances:
training since the 15K upon which his time was based.
together he was even more concerned but then thought that a sprinter and
hurdler (Cathy) would not make the 8K distance. One hears that she was
harassed, cajoled and generally driven around 7.95K when Elise slowed up
and let Cathy win. It looks like some anti co-operation rules are
required......
turn up anything can happen......
appears quite reasonable considering some of the runners had no previous
for to base things on.
