Story
Let's play a little game...
Tom and Mark will again be participating in our annual Triathlon "Battle Royale" to identify who has aged the most over the previous year and to raise money for BCRT which has been selected as this year's Charity by Sally Waghorn (Chris' Mother).
We are hoping to raise money in memory of our very special friend Chris who sadly passed away. Chris will always be remembered as a true friend and we hope the money raised for BCRT will reflect our appreciation of the good times we shared with Chris.
To ensure maximum embarrassment for the loser and bragging rights until the next Triathlon for the winner, we will be publicising our results to whomever is interested. However, for this high risk strategy we expect a return in the form of sponsorship for BCRT...
We will be playing a game which involves you, the interested party, guessing the time difference between Tom and I. Rules as follows:
- There is no need to stipulate the winner, only the time difference.
- Please select a time difference in minutes only e.g. 4 minutes.
- Please send your guess of the time difference to markanthonymellor@gmail.com
-There will be ONLY 2 people allowed per minute and minutes (time difference) will be given different sponsorship values based on the following scale:
1-10 minutes --> £15
10-30minutes --> £10
30-60minutes --> £5
£60+ minutes --> £2
- Minutes will be given on a first come, first served basis.
EXAMPLE OF HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR TIME:
- You have performed your data analysis on previous form and select 4 minutes as the time difference between Tom and Mark.
- You email markanthonymellor@gmail.com stating "I choose 4 minutes as the time difference".
- You receive a confirmation mail stating that this minute is available and you have been allocated this minute.
- You pay £15 via this Just Giving page (as you selected a time within the £15 sponsorship time range)
- You hope that Tom doesn't have his bike sabotaged the day prior to the event.
For transparency and fairness to those who are not familiar with our Triathlon form, we have included previous average times (minutes/seconds) and facts:
Mark:
Swim: 13:43
Bike: 38:37
Run: 21:00
Secret Weapon: Super Streamline Speedos
Tom:
Swim: 18:13
Bike: 32: 28
Run: 25:47
Secret Weapon: Turbo charged Carbon Bike
The winner will be rewarded a special prize for guessing the correct time difference in minutes. PLEASE NOTE: This WILL NOT involve any further embarrassment for Tom or Mark.
Good luck and thanks for helping to raise money for BCRT in memory of Chris.
