afternoon 
2 heats sound good. there perhaps needs to be a fast race (sub-7? in my eyes, that is chuffing fast!) and a slow race. i would like to do it somewhere near 9 mins but i don't want to get in the way of the faster affleets
sunday 16th dec
12.30pm outside moorways track derby for 1.00pm start
cost £28/number of people running (plus a few bob to cover kiddies prizes)
anyone welcome (although you do have to be able to say "ey up, me duck" in a convincing accent)
Barky + LB
Thornton Runner (probably plus two Juniors - that is TR def., 2JuniorTRs prob )
orbital sander (1 bubs up for 400m junior race although she is only 3 so 100m for very small peeps?)

Heats is a good idea - you want to avoid anyone being lapped if possible! For example anyone running 6:40 or over will be lapped by someone running a 5 minute mile!
I'm guessing sub 6.30 in one heat
then the issue again presents itself if there are people running 8:40 or over!
Would there be enough for 3 heats?
sub 6.30
6.30 - 8.30
8.30 +
What do people think?

how about some other events, maybe a 400m where the winner is the one who finishes closest to 3 mins (no watches)? agree with 2 heats for the mile as OH will not enjoy being lapped by me

just ask people on the day for an estimated time and divide from there.
it would be nice to have proper timekeepers for each race who can note lap times for each person as well as total time (needs two people, one to write and one to shout out times.)

ooooooh! please let's have different ability groups.
potentially i could be lapped twice by the good 'uns
the reason i gave up PE in general was because even the fat kids beat me in school athletics - annual humiliation until i worked out a way to sneak off after getting changed and reappear before the end of the lesson
