Basin of the Stars Underlight Running Challenge: Countdown

Post by Tary »

On Friday, the 22nd of Februrary 2019, the Basin of the Stars Running Challenge will reach its zenith and the controller of Taryag (that's me!) will face off against the controller of Apothos for the title of Running Champion of Underlight... and also a bottle of whisky.

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
Current Strava: https://www.strava.com/athletes/20043925

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.

If you're interested, the invite below will take you directly to the "marathon game day" voice channel in the OpenUnderlight discord.

I'll be waking up at 3:15AM IST tomorrow (Friday) and will be walking to the venue. It'll be great to have some entertainment along the way to calm down before my race kicks off at 6:15AM. It's a voice channel since I won't be able to look at my phone as I walk/jog up to the Marathon Expo.

And, Apothos: it's on.
