FetchPoint: The Game

Link (roll over me to see where I go)

For important updates on the rules, please make sure you're a member of the game group. Signing up to play the game will automatically add you to the group.

If you have a problem - usually it's a marker that you believe you hit, but hasn't moved, please send me feedback detailing the problem, making sure you:

1) be specific about where the marker is (an ID would be handy, but failing that, a decent description of its location may well be enough).
2) let me know the date and time of the run
3) don't report the marker. If it gets removed, I can't check it.
4) be quick. Some markers move on, e.g. daily Garmin moves, or bugs/relays getting transported on by other runners.
5) remain calm. You just did running. That's a good thing, right?

I may not get to all reports in time, but if enough of you do report problems, it gives me data to find the causes of the problems.

Yes you would plant a new one for every half mile you ran outside your area, plus water any you passed by. You could vary it running it backwards, or putting slight variations in although you are right, it can get boring if you do this all the time. Which is why i only do my planting and watering on some of my runs not all.

Welcome Rich

I love the watering of flowers have 2 different patches so not doing the same route all the time and cos one of them isn't very exciting a choice running past HGV's or horses I know what I pick

I feel very blessed by the terrain I have available right on my doorstep. I've lived here for almost six years, but am now getting very excited about the running possibilities. I live in a former mining village surrounded by farmland... lots of tracks and trails, woodland, no need to run very far on pavements unless you want to. It's lovely!!!

And what's more, the landscape is best described as gently undulating. You never go very far without a hill - but they are mostly benign, and don't last for very long before you get some respite. So running round here, you are automatically getting an intervals workout, without trying, and without it being so tough as to make you want to vomit.

I think that stood me in good stead in my race on Saturday - there were only a couple of hills that I considered hard going, but I ran up them, while a lot of people were walking.

100,000! I feel happy if I get a random 10,000!

I moved or squished 22 bugs today on a 6 mile walk. Most satisfying! And tomorrow morning I'll be visiting a few flowers on my bike commute.

I passed another fetchie on my way home from work - I was on the bike and he was running so I reckon I got home first to upload the training Raspberry!

(sorry fozzy!)
