Running handicaps!

Hello fellow total sporters!

Aaron, Luke and myself have been hard at work setting some total sport office challenges.  The first of these was the XTERRA festival half marathon two weeks ago.  Aaron being old and slow insisted on a handicapping system for the race, so i set out to develop one.

The formula: Your fastest half multiplied by your age divided by your weight = X

The difference between the final numbers was the number of minutes advantage you had over your competitors.  Lets just say this formula was severely flawed and gave Aaron a ridiculous 22min advantage over me and 17min over Luke.  22min advantage = happy Aaron and tired Bryce.

If anyone has any thoughts on the matter or solutions to my handicapping issues please let me know!

Cheers
