alpenrose Sep 2021 2:09pm, 26 Sep 2021 52,590 posts	0 alpenrose My 10k went quite nicely and was a bit quicker than I thought, but then that's the event thing that kicks in and helps. It was nice to be back at a proper race though, even if it wasn't a mass start but I quite liked it like that.

LazyDaisy Sep 2021 2:33pm, 26 Sep 2021 34,287 posts	0 LazyDaisy I quite liked the wave starts on the couole of raceds I've done this summer too, AR. It feels a bit less pressured (though I suppose if ypu were racing seriously that's not what you want!)
Turtlemama Sep 2021 2:38pm, 26 Sep 2021 1,593 posts	0 Turtlemama Brilliant, AL!! AR, my event today had a staggered start, which I wasn't particularly looking forward to, but I actually loved it! The pre race info had suggested wave starts, but on the day the event director was walking around saying "start when you like, have fun" In practice this meant no long loo queues, no rushing to get to a start line, no crowded start or jostling, loads of space on the route and generally a lovely atmosphere. Did it still feel like a race event? Well yes, since I'd be nowhere near the front anyway, and for the very fastest few, they were advised to start as the course opened anyway so would still have been at the front. I'd be happy if other larger events did similar now!
