PREDICTION CONTEST:
Wednesday, April 29, 2020 | 9:45am pacific
Lake Mary Road
Lauren Paquette v Rory Linkletter in the NYRR Virtual 5k
HOW IT WORKS: In accordance with social distancing guidelines, Lauren and Rory will each run an all-out 5k at 7,000 feet of elevation on Lake Mary Road. Same course, same day, but solo. We will give Lauren a 2-minute handicap. So in order for Lauren to win she has to run within two minutes of Rory’s time. For Rory to win he has to run more than two minutes faster than Lauren’s time. Make sense?
TO ENTER: Head over to the HOKA NAZ Elite Instagram account HERE and leave your prediction in the comments. Simply name your winner and the winning time (minus two minutes in Lauren’s case).
Example One:
Lauren – 14:20.7* (meaning you think she’ll run 16:20.7 and Rory will run slower than 14:20.7)
Example Two:
Rory- 14:25.3* (meaning you think Rory will run 14:25.3 and Lauren will run slower than 16:25.3)
*must enter the time to the tenth of a second to help us avoid ties!!
