Race Predictor Update & and Explainer

Sat 09:29 . 1x 📷 . Posted by unknown author

Race announcement

So you may have noticed that the Race Predictor results change spontaneously this is as primarily we only get tracker updates every so often and when we do they have a major impact on estimated average GAP. We calculate the time teams are expected to get into endpoint by mapping their tracker data to a series of route options if they are close enough and then access the speed and terrain they traveled across to estimate an average gradient-adjusted pace which it applies to the remaining optimal route to endpoint. It does not and cannot account for nav errors or fatigue… Read more.

Division 2Division 5

This bridge on the Hume and Hovell Track that some Div 2 and div 5 teams are crossing reminds us of a scene from Monty Pyhton and the Holy Grail let's hope they have read up on the terminal velocity of unladen swallows and their favourite colours. Teams crossing this bridge must do it one at time to get across the fast-flowing and deep Goobagandra River, teams cross here just after going through a race checkpoint where they will be briefed on how to cross safely… Read more.

Div 4 -6 Update

Sat 04:20 . 3x 📷 . Posted by unknown author

Division 4Division 5Division 6

It seems in Div 4 the Race Predictor is showing a tight tussle between Bruce & B&G with only a ten minute gap forecast between them at EP. Div 5 has the predictor a bit confused about what Griffin is doing, however is suggesting Burgmann is in the lead preferring the teams who took the southern (green) not western route (blue), although the teams going west look to have made more progress. And finally, in Div 6 the predictor has Fenner ahead of Yukeembruk by 10 minutes with Ursulaonly forecasted 5 minutes at EP behind with a footrace evovling… Read more.

A way too excited Race Predictor

Fri 23:02 . Posted by unknown author

Race announcement

The race Predictor Still thinks Bruce is leading Div 1, but the gap has closed to B&G, I suspect it is way too excited about their expected finish time of 8:16am especially as the trackers seem to have Bruce And B&G in Div 1 very close. It thinks Bruce and B&G @ Div 2 are very close whereas Fenner is front in Div 3 with the predictor for some reason really penalising the northern longer and harder route (but perhaps overly so). It very much does not like Bruce Div 3 going their own way up to the northern route which is longe, hillier and more more rmeote than both suggested options… Read more.

Good News the race predictor is working and doing it's thing. It seems to think Bruce is storming ahead to win div 1 right now but I'd take it's predictions with a giant grain of salt right now as we do not expect teams to come in until closer to 10am… Read more.
