Thursday is the long awaited first Auldhouse 5k of the season. As usual, we are still limited to 15 people gathering at any one location and mixing. Therefore, we have to be careful about how to organise this. If there are 15 or less it is easy. If there are more than 15, then the "Venue 1" packs will be the faster packs and they should head off first. The Venue 2 packs should give the Venue 1 packs at least a 10 minute start before leaving the Sports Club to give them time to arrange themselves at the time trial start and for all of them to have set off on their time trials.
Venue 1 (park at Torrance House golf club) - proceed via Strathaven Road and Sainsburys to the start of the 5k. Eddie will set you off at 30 second intervals in the same order as displayed in the pack list. e.g. if packs A, B and C are all at Venue 1, then the first runner named in Pack A goes first, followed by the second runner in pack A and so on and then onto pack B and then pack C. Take your own time on your Garmin. Let Eddie know your time at the end. Return to the club via whatever route you decide within your packs (maybe via the Glen). Don't wait for Venue 1 runners to finish.
Venue 2 (park at EKSC) - wait 10 minutes after the Venue 1 runners have passed before starting. Then follow the same route along Strathaven Road and then via Sainsburys to start. All of the Venue 1 runners should have started by the time you arrive at the start. Eddie will set you off at 30 second intervals. e.g. if packs D, E and F are at Venue 2, then the first runner named in pack D goes first, followed by the second runner in pack D and when all pack D runners have gone, the first runner in pack E goes and so on. Take your on time on your Garmin. Let Eddie know your time at the end. Decide within your packs what routes to take back to the club.
