Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I presume they have data from the last round of apricot sales, wonder if the vests are too niche for them to be worth selling? I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone in an orange vest, though lots of t-shirts (short and long sleeved).

Going back to the app chat: on Saturday we had one timekeeper using the Junsd watches and one using the app, on one of the core team's phone, a Sony Experia. C had removed the time-out lock, and showed our DOE timekeeper how the app worked. There was then a gap of a good 5 minutes between opening the app, putting it on the Time screen, and me shouting 'Go'. At which point the screen did nothing - no timer started at the top of the screen :-0 and the app itself seemed frozen. I got the app up on my phone, and when the watch showed exactly 8 minutes (I was busy! ;-) ) started the app which worked fine (and although it wasn't needed, it would have been easy to add 8 minutes to everyone's time.)

We don't know if it was a problem specific to that phone, or if it's a potential bug. But if you use the app, maybe don't open it until just before you need it!

I have an orange vest too, though I rarely wear it as I don't like Tribe gear. I very rarely run in a T and am going to convert my milestone Ts to vests.

(Thinking about my comment above, maybe I have seen vests, mainly on female parkrunners. I'm predisposed not to like vests personally, but I know plenty on here do like to run in them.)

I have an apricot vest. It's my favourite in warm weather along with my only other vest, the fetchie one
