Measurement technical question from another sport

ultrask8Member

My sports technical committee (speed inline skating) has recently changed the measuring rules, from the long standing "30cm from SPR" to "measured from the middle of the roadway".

I am concerned that this new rule will see the athletes skating a much shorter distance than the official distance.

Could someone give me an idea of how much shorter the athlete could travel, on a 5km race on a 10m wide road, square or oval, that is measured from the middle of the road?

My thought its that on a 500m square circuit (measured from 30cm SPR), if the circuit is 10m wide-the minimum width is set at 6m) the athletes will travel almost 750m shorter.

Post here or please email me at Ultrask824@yahoo.com

Thanks in advance!
