Nice, that`s what I had in mind also.
:great:
BTW: a question when it comes to the race. There are different start classes, from "men elite", and then descending with regards to expected finish time. The thing is, the only alternatives left for choice now are from "sub 1.55" and below OR "men elite". There is no qualification criteria for joining the elite start class, but this is suggested for sub 1.25 runners.
As my expectation is sub 1.35 / 1.40, I`m a bit unsure what is best / worst: Being the among the slowest in a fast group with the obvious risk of falling behind or being among the fastest in a slow group with the risk of lacking other runners to "keep up" with.
As the groups startwith relatively small time gaps, I guess the runners will eventually be rather evenly spread througout the course. My gut feeling is that the potential positive psychologic effect of being able to pass a substantial number of runners is better than the oposite, and that I should go for the slower start group... but I`m really not sure :mmm:
