virtual racing 2005 - 5 and 10 miles
Virtual racing continues!
http://users.frii.com/uliasz/wayfarer/virtual_race.htm In 2004 we had almost 40 entries into 5 mile virtual race including touring and sea kayaks, surfski, racing K1 and unlimited safari canoes. Some paddlers complained that 5 miles is not enough for them ... So, this year I am also adding 10 mile race. The idea is to paddle the race distance, 5 or 10 miles, record your results by GPS and submit data for posting. To make entries somewhat comparable the race course should be on water without current and include one or more loops to average over paddling conditions. GPS is recommended to record distance and time, but you can also SpeedMate or similar devices. If you have occasion, try to compare reading from your SpeedMate to GPS. You may find something unexpected: see my GPS-SpeedMate comparison. Everybody is invited to race! Required information: * paddler name and location * race date * boat and paddle * distance, time and/or average speed * optional: maximum speed, average HRM * a short description of paddling area and racing course, shallow or deep water * a short description of water and weather conditions * any other related comments * optional: links to your website, boat used or paddling area; pictures of you and your boat, GPS tracks I would appreciate any comments or suggestions.
