CLUB TIME TRIAL
Results

This Sunday, July 13, starting at 7:30 AM will be the third monthly NWCC Club TT. The race venue will again be Warren Ranch Road, however, we have extended the distance for this Sunday to ten miles rather than the usual ten kilometers. Please try to start as close to 7:30 as possible as traffic increases as the morning goes on.

Note the special rules for the ten mile events:

1. An individuals result for a 10 mile event will be reduced by a factor of .62, less 60 seconds, and applied as a 10k result for final
scoring,

Example:
a. Actual 10 mile time = 28 minutes, 50 seconds
b. 10k scoring time = [(28 x 60 + 50) x .62 - (60)] = 1012.6 seconds
or 16 minutes 53 seconds.

2. Teams of either 2 or 3 members can compete in a 10 mile event (only individuals compete in the 10k event). All members of the team will receive the same time adjustment (i.e., time is reduced by a factor of .62%) and applied as a 10k result for overall scoring. In order to break the 2 or 3 way ties that might otherwise develop at year end, for a team time to apply to any individual team member, that person must also participate in at least one 10k event (or one 10 mile event as an individual) during the year.
