Performance Award Self-Service

Time to think about performance awards  and pb's set during the season from 1st October 2016 until 30th September 2017. Can I ask everyone to follow the instructions below and enter any performances which you believe are eligible. Note the special instructions below in red for those of you using iPhones or iPads to enter the date data (which is assumed to be still valid for even the latest iPads and iPhones). Some of you have already been entering the data as the year has progressed. You can see all the data already entered using the links in the original post below. Thanks to both Julies (Beveridge and Thomson) for entering their performance award and PB data recently. Ask me if you have any questions or problems. You can also start entering data for 2017-2018 season using the same forms below.

I have now had the opportunity to try the data entry forms on an iPhone and can see what the problem is with iPhones and iPads. The problem is that any dates have to be entered in American format (Month/Day/Year) rather than UK format (Day/Month/Year). For example, to enter a race date of 20th November 2016, fill in the date field as follows: 11/20/2016. The iPhone/iPad also seems to default to displaying the current year 2017. Delete that and replace with 2016 or whatever the year you need is.

To make gathering the data for the annual performance awards more efficient, could I ask all who believe they have set a performance standard at 5k, 10k, 10 mile, half marathon or marathon to:

  1. check your performance against the tables for the various age groups (women, men)
  2. use this form to enter the details of your performance.
  3. repeat steps 1 and 2 for each race.

You can see the data gathered so far in this spreadsheet.

Similarly for new absolute or age group pb's, use this form to record the PB details. All the data gathered since we started this system last year are listed here.

Any questions or problems then leave a comment or get in touch with me. As always, these forms are untested on Apple devices but do work fine on Android devices and Windows PC's running the Chrome browser.

Don't suppose you will allow the 2016 GSR - Glasgow Half ? What's 149m between friends?

Only if your 2016 GSR time x (21/20.851) < old PB :-)
