CLUB CHAMPIONSHIPS 2021
Posted: Fri Jan 01, 2021 6:30 pm
Hi all and happy new year, time to start thinking of shaking off all the excess turkey and tins of roses, so this is the draft No.1 of the 2021 club championship (cant be as bad as 2020) 
The plan is to go back to the 2018 format so only club races will be scored this year, There will be 3 of each race (hopefully) the first will be for your time and then scored on the next 2 races, as hardly any races went ahead in 2020 so not everyone would have PBs
If you’re somebody who doesn’t swim or maybe you don’t run no problem there are 24 events in total with the best 8 scoring plus you must marshal at 1 event. Fitness levels are irrelevant.
The aim remains the same with inclusion/participation of all members the goal. Every member at the start of 2021 will have a chance of winning the much coveted Martin Mimnagh cup.
ALL members are welcome to race any event whether they are taking part in champs or not.

Each event will then be scored individually based on their PB.
An example of the scoring:
First 5km run PB is 25:00
Time from second 5km 26:43
Your score from that event would be 94.5 points. (25:00(pb) divide by 26:43(event time) = .945)
If you do all of one type of event you will score a bonus 10 points on top of your 8 best scores plus marshal.
Hopefully we will be out racing together in February see you all then
