The Doctor K Cup
98 watchers
The seventh annual Doctor K Cup will take place on Saturday October 19th 2024
All you need is a GPS watch or app. On the day, RUN AT LEAST 5K WITHOUT LOOKING AT YOUR WATCH. The Fetch Benchmark system will pull out your fastest 5k from your run (so you can include it as part of your long run if you like). The person who gets closest to their prediction will be declared the winner (though the judges decision is final!).
It would be lovely if you could upload your 'K' pics to the gallery (make a K shape with your fingers) to help us remember Doctor K and all the Fetchies we have lost.
NB A GPS watch reporting 5.00km will do so from 4995 metres onwards, but you MUST run at least 5000 metres or more. To avoid disappointment add an extra 10 seconds on to the end of your run, just to make sure.

Remind me what I have to do again? Do I need to enter my time on race entry? My walk hasn't downloaded yet but we are in the wilderness so it may not happen! Using a cafe's WiFi at present.

Once your run uploads Fetch works it's magic, you need do nothing DoricQuine

No problem. I hope the cafe wifi works for you. In fact my Garmin hasn't uploaded to Fetch yet but has to Garmin Connect.

Mine hasn’t added to the results automatically and actually given I didn’t obey the rules it really shouldn’t. The race is slightly over distance and so benchmark shows 21:19 with my parkrun time of 21:32 against a forecast of 21:25

Fetch seems a tad slow picking up training today!

Well I’m done. I am a twit though thought I’d set a workout in garmin 1.7m so I’d turn around and it would stop by itself, I had watch face on time of day only it beeped at 1.75m and said workout ended 😵💫 I then realised I didn’t put the 2nd 1.75 in 😫 but I’d done it as an out and back so got back to start flicked to distance rounded to 3.5 and stopped. I had looked at my predicted time before I went out and thought no chance I can do that changed for a sub 30 and I think I’d have been nearer my original guesstimate. Oh well I will take a faster than anticipated time any day! Thinking of all our lost fetchies ❤️❤️ |
