Wheel calibrations

genenewmanRRTC Chairman

Mark is correct. I coached HS and College XC and found that their only concern was with year to year comparisons of times on the same course.

I offered many times that I could make their course relatively accurate, but the answer was we want to leave it as it has been for the last 20 years.

However, I my home course was measured with a JR Counter and it was close to the advertised distance.

To respond to Andrew's question I think most XC courses are measured by a coach with a measuring wheel. Probably in the middle of the path or where they think runners would run, and without any SCPF.

I am more comfortable measuring with a calibrated bike, following SPR and using SCPF-- but per Mark and Gene's comments, I'm not sure if these efforts are appreciated or resented!
