VRWC ?

[Wenderwoo]

I’ve just looked at the leaderboard (I’m slightly obsessed ☺️), and Namibia have gone from 17th to 3rd in the space of this afternoon. I’d noticed that they were 17th, as they’d just missed the cut. Plus, I thought the qualifiers finished last night. It seems to be a right pigs ear..... 🐷👂🏻🤣

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10]

The site has crashed, but I noticed before it crashed the the UK was No.9 out of 16, South Africa at No. 1.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

Update, its up and running again, I notice that the UK is at No. 4

[Rigpig]

It does! My run from yesterday has not been recorded by them either from Garmin or Strava.

[Amblerman Graduate10 in reply to Rigpig]

My run this morning is shown as valid and is counting towards my new personal goal for this week but is not showing on the team stats. Still stuck at the Km value from Tuesday. Maybe they are going to clear down the team scores for each round? Site is totally overloaded with lots of 522 errors coming up (lack of server resources, most likely memory).

It's a dog's breakfast as well as pig's ear by the look of it.

🤣🤣

[Speedy60 Graduate10 in reply to Amblerman]

Do dogs eat pig's ears for breakfast, I wonder?🤔

[K8nno Graduate10]

17th to 3rd?!? Was it National Running Day there yesterday?

[linda9389 Graduate10]

In the email I received, the picture makes it look as if the UK came 4th and that we are up against Egypt (who came 11th) in the next round of 16. Namibia do show as third.It does all seem rather wild and unreliable. Adds to the excitement - all the unpredictability 🤣

[Wenderwoo in reply to linda9389]

Yes, maybe there’s a chance we could beat South Africa 🤣🤣🤣

[Smelliepoo Graduate10]

Especially considering that my results are double what they should be! Although my goal for this week is only 2k above what I actually did! Not sure if this is right or not, but that is not my issue to sort out! It is, after all, just a bit of fun and if it helps kids to get vaccinations that they would otherwise not have then I am happy with it all!

[Buddy34 Graduate10]

Right pig's ear indeed. At least the uk are through to the next round🥳

How did your surgery go?

[Wenderwoo in reply to Buddy34]

Ok thanks. I’ve got a lovely shiny black eye. But they said I’m ok to run so it’s all good - I can’t believe it was one of the first questions I asked 😁

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Wenderwoo]

🤣🤣🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[Debston Graduate10 in reply to Wenderwoo]

😂

[Granspeed Graduate10]

Well, here’s another version: my double runs seem to have been sorted (manual submissions un-ticked & the pickup from Strava (more accurate) ticked. Fine, except my name doesn’t appear on the team list now. 🤔 Maybe they haven’t finished sorting it all and we are seeing each stage of the update? Bit odd, as I got an email giving me a “goal” and suggesting I check my team’s placing! Perhaps that’s why some of those odd emojis I’ve never understood exist... just ready for this sort of situation - 🙃🧐🤪

[Wenderwoo in reply to Granspeed]

They’ve announced the qualifiers on Instagram so I assume the corrections are done. We’re 4th 😁

[Granspeed Graduate10 in reply to Wenderwoo]

I will see if they’ve “found” me then. Ta. 👍

[linda9389 Graduate10 in reply to Granspeed]

I can see a Gran Speed with 21.15km on the HU team.

On the team I show with 32km, yet my goal is 16km and Garmin shows 16km of valid ticked runs, as it should. At one point I had strava authorised as well although it didn't show any runs and was deauthorised before the close yesterday. It's all barmey!!!

Thankfully though, this week's goal is 18k rather than 34k!!!

[Hidden in reply to linda9389]

I’m the same Linda. At one point my goal was 24km. However they adjusted it to 18 km. The extra run that they validated which they added twice is now corrected too. So I’m pleased about that.🤗

So tomrrow I will be out again running for 🇬🇧🏃‍♀️🤣🤣.

Enjoy your weekend Linda 🤗x

[linda9389 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

You too! I have an easy 3k for tomorrow, but a long run for Sunday which better count 😍

[Hidden in reply to linda9389]

Im hoping to do something similar too! 🤗 . Fingers crossed 🤞for your long run on Sunday! Have a good one 🏃‍♀️🤗x

I saw that the results are in and we made the 16! Brilliant! Although Namibia had quite a jump up didn’t they ?....🤔🤣

[linda9389 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

A rather incredible jump! unbelievably so some might say 🤣🤣🤣🙉🙈🙊

[Hidden in reply to linda9389]

Exactly! .......🤥

[Grannyhugs Graduate10 in reply to linda9389]

My goal is 20k, it didn't pick up today's run, shows no runs at all on my runs page and my total on the team page is wrong 😂😂😂 I've had so many emails back and forward I'm now just going to try to run and have fun

.

[linda9389 Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

🙄🙄🙄

Today's run should count towards your goal total for this week even though it doesn't count for the country because it's between periods; whether or not it should show for the team ... well, who knows!

[Grannyhugs Graduate10 in reply to linda9389]

Email said wait 24hr before submitting so I'll send lunchtime tomorrow. I had to manually enter 2 of the 3 other runs so no hardship. It's all running and fun. I had the pleasure of running through sleety snow today, lovely, stops you sweating and makes the shower even nicer 🤗

[linda9389 Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

Sometimes wet or breezy can be quite refreshing and welcome can't it. Who'd have thought it 😍

[Sparkey5000 60minGraduate in reply to Grannyhugs]

I’m in the same boat....still got my biggest run last week double counted and my goal the week is big! Taking it for what is a wee incentive to get out and a bit of fun. I’m away this weekend and doing parkrun tourism to get some KMs registered as only runs sat and sun count towards the UK result!

[Granspeed Graduate10 in reply to linda9389]

Yes, Linda9389, I finally found it too. I was looking in the region of my real total, not their imagined total! 🙃 I have decided not to care. Short run tomorrow and longer one on Sunday, and I shall leave it to Strava & Vitality to figure it out. Happy running! 👍🎉

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

Maybe they were still trying to sort out the mileage - badly. Mine is definitely wrong, there must be many more also wrong. 😥 but at least it has once again shown what a great community HU is that we all keep running and trying to add kms to the total. 🤗

[Raspberrypink Graduate10]

Yep mine is wrong too. Am I right in thinking we only have runs n Saturday and Sunday to count towards the next round? 😳

[Wenderwoo in reply to Raspberrypink]

Yes, I think so 14th and 15th, and we’re up against Egypt

[59er Graduate10 in reply to Raspberrypink]

👍

[Raspberrypink Graduate10]

👍🏼

[Amblerman Graduate10]

I see the ranking by country is done by dividing the total km distance by the (estimated) number of smart phones in the country. In that case when we play Egypt in the next round can Vitality please take into account the iPhone I lost in Cairo a few years back😀😀

[Wenderwoo in reply to Amblerman]

🤣🤣🤣

[59er Graduate10]

But I think we're still to run to qualify arent we? Time's up tomorrow night 11.59 pm.

As Brucie would say: Keeeep Running! 🤣🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

[Wenderwoo in reply to 59er]

I think it starts at midnight tonight, and ends at midnight Sunday night 🤔 So all day Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th

[59er Graduate10 in reply to Wenderwoo]

Haha 🤣 Good job I've got you to keep me right. I was just preparing to go out on my 'long' Magic 10 run! I'll go 'short' today and do my long one on Sunday 😳

Thanks Wenderwoo 🙏

[Wenderwoo in reply to 59er]

Phew! Enjoy your run 👍😁

[ktsok]

My 8k run is showing on my runs but hasn’t been added to the HU team board...

Do we all have different goals then? Mine seems to be 10k this week...

[Wenderwoo]

It’s all a bit beyond me, but if it’s a run you did today it maybe because the next leg of the World Cup is from midnight tonight, to midnight Sunday 🤔
