Preliminary standings for 2009 PA Challenge
If any of you are like me, you like to dissect all the splits from a race that you can. Unfotunately we don't quite have those done yet. However, we can at least provide the preliminary standings as well as the time that each team finished. As was mentioned post race (at least I think I mentioned it...) we attempted to score based on how early a team deviated from the whole course. So, even if a team got more points on the second O section than another team, if they had less on the first, they will be ranked lower. I know it's not ideal, and one could spend DAYS debating how to most fairly score a race, but we feel it's the best solution.
And for the record, despite how trite and overused "you're all winners" might sound, it definitely applies to this course. We've never designed a course this long and the Old School course was really brutal, even more brutal than anticipated in a couple spots. In case all you 24 hour course racers hadn't already figured it out, your course was a bit longer than normal (around 110 miles without the "bonus" mileage you may have added yourself!) thanks to it being designed concurrently with the Old School course. Despite this we had a great finishing percentage!
Please don't hesitate to send any and all feedback our way wither positive or critical. We tried a number of new things and would like to know what you all think.
Here are the rankings, we'll do our best to get all the splits and O course details up by the weekend!
Old School
1) Wedali - full course - 10:32 AM
2) Alpine Shop - shortened course - 9:18 AM
3) Team Bushwhacker - shortened course - 11:08 AM
4) Enviro - shortened course - 7:21 AM
5) FreeSpeed - unofficial - 11:03 AM
6) MAAR - unofficial - 12:08 PM
7) Indy Rootstock - DNF
8) BAM - DNF
I'd like to note that both Freespeed and MAAR chose to underake the Old School course with unofficial teams from the very beginning. Four person coed was required but BOTH of these teams opted for the challenge of the longer course over a chance at prizes! That is awesome guys!
24 Hour Challenge (with the small field there are no divisions)
1) DINO - 9:08 AM
2) Planetadventurerace.com - 12:10 PM
3) Silverbacks - 12:20 PM
4) Dark Side - 8:24 AM
5) JAMBS - 10:14 AM
6) Crossfit - 12:10 AM
7) No Sleep Till Brooklyn - 12:48 PM
8) Plotigy - 10:38 AM
9) Rest and Relaxation (DNF)
10) Team Ragged Glory (DNF)
For the 24 hour race it's worth pointing out that our top three teams all coed (in the traditional nature of coed AR teams) AND our second place team was 1 male and 3 females!! Way to go everyone!
