In the coming few days I'll post a link to an invite to a Discord voice channel for marathon game day shenanigans. This is primarily for my entertainment: I have a 4 km (2.5 mile) walk/jog to the venue that I'll be doing at about 5AM and I'll be leaning on you all for entertainment, because I'm selfish like that. In order to make it fun, I'm opening this post up as a means for betting on our times. The rules are Price is Right style, i.e. closest to guess overall time without going over wins.
The details: we'll each be running half marathons in our home domiciles. I will be running the Tel Aviv half marathon. It's up to Apothos to state his home town if he so wishes.
To help you in your time predictions, I'll supply my stats:
- TLV Half Marathon 2016 (Feb 2016): 2h14m28s
- TLV Half Marathon 2017 (Feb 2017): 1h48m17s (PR)
- Mitspe Ramon Desert Half Marathon (July 2017): 1h56m17s
My time goals:
1) Beat 2017 TLV HM PR
2) Under 1:45
3) Stretch goal: under 1:40
My official prediction: 1:43:22
Discord invite to follow in the coming few days.
