With half of the race gone for most of our runners it's time to start digging deep and pushing hard. This next section could make or break the race for many of the competitors.
Check out the results from round three
So now it is time for round four, so let’s if @godofbit can keep his narrow lead, or will he be run down by the pack nipping at his heels.
Runners, you need to tell me:
- How fast you intend to run – a number from 1-15 (you can use decimal places if you like e.g. 5.5)
- How many hours you intend to run for – a number from 1-2 (you can use a decimal for partial hours e.g. 1.5)
- How many energy gels you will consume – a number from 0 – however many gels you have (whole numbers only)
- If you want to rest, how long you intend to rest (in hours) – a number from 1-2 (you can use a decimal for partial hours e.g. 1.5)
Runners have until 11am tomorrow New Zealand time, to tell me their choices. Anyone not replying in the next 24 hours will be classed as DNF (Did Not Finish).

Are you new to Steemit and trying to figure out what it's all about?
Head over to: https://www.steemithelp.net/. It's the best place to get a handle on what the platform is all about.
speed, 7.8
Run 2 hours
Rest 2 hours
gels: 0
I dont think it works that way.... for the hours
You can only have 2 hours for each turn. So you have to have the rest hours and run hours add up to no more than 2
nice try, you may have good contact with the organiser but us mear mortals are watching.
Ok, no rest then!
Good, steady, good luck on your success, long life and healthy always, do not forget also my post will remain in steemit
i intend to run – 12
How many hours 2
How many energy gels you will consume – 1
no rest its time to try and catch these other roadrunners
that's the spirit!
WOW! Just wow.
We may train or peak for a certain race, but running is a lifetime sport.

thanks
Do you see what two of the runners are trying?
yup I see that. Nice try though ;-) I'll send them a message.
Thank you
Speed: 6
Hours: 1.5
Gels: 2
Rest: 1
GO GO GO!!!!!
I dont think it works that way..... for the hours and you also have 0 gels left
You can only have 2 hours for each turn. So you have to have the rest hours and run hours add up to no more than 2
Then I will rest 0.5
What about the 2 gels, he has 0 left so where's he getting 2 at?
I wouldn't worry too much about that. I could put in 100 gels and it will only use what he actually has. So if he has no gels left, he won't actually use any gels, no matter how much he asks for them. ;-)
Go hard or go home! Run 15 for 1 hour with 1 gel and then 1 hour rest.
While we are running on reasonable level ground
Speed = 8
Time = 2
Gells = 2
There was a woosh as Kiwiscanfly went past at breakneck speed,
and I started to notice oil on the track, he may have blown a gasket,
hope not, that could be painful.

Can we choose the order of resting and running? I'd like to run first and then rest today.
At this stage I have to do the resting first. Otherwise things get all messed up.
I'll have to see if I can change things to make it more flexible for future games.
Uh oh... then I need to change my entry. I’ll die on the hill. If I run for only half an hour will it automatically set me to rest before?
Hmm...... no. But you can chose to run at different speeds. e.g. run at 12 for 1 hour and then run at 3 for 1 hour.
you don't have to use up the full 2 hours either. You can chose to only run for 1 hour and leave it at that
Do I get 1 hour of rest credit if I run for 1 hour and don't specify the other hour?
There's a reason Software QA departments always try recruit me. I'll figure out every nuance of an application.
hehe I could have used you as a tester.
no you don't get any credits. The only thing you can accumulate (besides damage) is gels.
I've tried to set this up so it will imitate real life as much as possible, so the strategy is important. but I also need to limit the possibilities to prevent someone 'gaming' the system. And if i suspect that is what they are trying to do, then I'll either change the system or the rules to stop it.
Since this is the first real game, there are still plenty of scenarios to work through. So your input is really valuable to me. ;-)
