Run Nandi 09

[Manoj Bhat]

Hi,

The EOI of last week got a handful of responses...

 

Date: 26th Sep 09, Saturday (sorry Sunil/Nishcal, I need the sunday for recovery & marriage prep work)

Route: The highway from Hebbal to the turn off point after Devanahalli, take left and run up to Nandi. The usual highway route

 

Participants (all names in brackets are yet to confrim)

 

Full distance (55k): Athreya, Manoj (Honda)

35k: Mahesh (Sunil, Chandra?)

22k: Anjana

8k: Sabine

 

The plan is to stagger the start time of every one so we all can run up & finish together. Amit (my de facto manager), Mahesh's driver will drive and station themselves every 10k and act as mobile water stations. I will plan to stock the cars with enough water, biscuits, electral, Gels and bananas.

Start Points & Start times:

Full distance: (~55k to Nandi top)

Place: Start just after Hebbal Flyover, Opp. Esteem Mall (you could park at Esteem mall or Columbia Asia Hospital)

Time: Be there at 4:45am to start at 5am sharp

 

Cafe Coffee Day (~40k to Nandi top) (just after Jakkur on the right)

Anyone starting here should be ready to start when the pack (hopefully) reaches there at 6:30am

 

Just after ITC factory (~37k to Nandi top)

Mahesh, You need to measure 5k after Cafe coffee day and expect us there at 7am.

 

Half marathon distance: (~21k to Nandi top)

Place: Turn off point from NH 7.

Time: Expect the pack to be there by 8:30am

 

Run to the top (~7k to Nandi top)

Place: Nandi Base

Time: Expect the pack to be there by 10am

 

Amit, can you be at the Cafe Coffee day at 6am and support us from there on?

 

There are going to be enough cars to drive us back. Amit, Anjana's car & Mahesh's car can drive us back. Jugy, I will surely not have the 'dum' to cycle back :)

 

Let me know how this sounds peoples & do RSVP.

 

Athreya, Pls forward this mail to Chandra & Honda.

 

Thanks,

Manoj

Manoj, I am still waiting for the heal. But I am tempted to do this one. So it is another week to go if I am fine I will join.   BTW how many Kms that will be.   Rishi. --- On Thu, 17/9/09, Manoj Bhat <manoj...@yahoo.com> wrote: From: Manoj Bhat <manoj...@yahoo.com> Subject: Heads up on Nandi Run on 26th Sep 09 To: gettin...@googlegroups.com, "nischal pai" <nisc...@yahoo.com>, "tima amit" <amit...@gmail.com> Cc: purp...@gmail.com, "Sunil RFL" <sunil.c...@gmail.com>, "Juggie Raju" <jaganna...@yahoo.com>, "Rajesh RFL" <chron...@gmail.com>, "Sabine RFL" <sabsi...@yahoo.com>, "reena chengappa" <chengap...@gmail.com>, "Rishikesh Basu" <rishik...@yahoo.com>, "Prateek RFL" <Pratee...@dell.com>, "reena chengappa" <chengap...@gmail.com>, "Pankaj Rai" <panka...@gmail.com>, "Shantanu Singh" <evilsh...@gmail.com>, "Satsang rfL" <rsat...@gmail.com> Date: Thursday, 17 September, 2009, 1:43 AM Hi, I am planning to run from Hebbal to Nandi hills on 26th Sep. I would be starting very early (430 or 5am) and run along the highway, keeping to the service roads as much as possible. I intend to run at 10kmph pace and reach the top of Nandi hills by noon.   Tima has been volunteered to act as a support vehicle. He will be asleep in the car at intervals of 10k initially and 5k towards the end.   I will send out a detailed plan early next week, but you are welcome to join me even for shorter distances. We could stagger the start time, so as to meet up & finish together.   Let me know if you are interested... Also, any inputs / suggestions / advice is very very welcome...   Cheers, Manoj

Hi Manoj,

Unless it upsets the group's running plans, I will probably start at the Cafe Coffee day and run until the base of Nandi (33k), and skip the 7km climb. I will however get into the car at the base of Nandi and make it towards the top, and en route maybe take some pictures of you warriors powering up that beast of a hill!

Thanks,
Mahesh

[Shantanu Singh]

All the best guys, I am in Lucknow these days, would have loved to join....

Manoj,

 

Who is 'Amit'?! If you were referring to my by any chance, consider it a yes from my side to be at the Coffee Day at 6am..

 

Cheers!

Tima.

Hi all,

 

Did some google ground work and the results are as follows ;)

 

	Between locations	Cumulative (from start)	Approx time to start
Columbia Asia Hospital	0
Coffee Day	13	13	6:15
ITC factory	5.6	18.6	6:45
Airport Interchange	2.5	21.1	7:10
SH 104 turn off point	10.2	31.3	8:10
SH 74 turn off - Idly point	9.8	41.1	9:20
Base Camp	4.3	45.4	9:45
Nandi Arch	7.2	52.6	11:00
Total	52.6

So, if you want to start at the highway turn-off point, you need to start run at 8:10 or so. Be there about 15mins before the time provided.

Distance you would do:

 

Total	52.6
From Coffee Day	39.6
From ITC Factory	34
From Airport Interchange	31.5
From SH 104 turn off point	21.3
From SH 74 turn off - Idly point	11.5

Mini changes to the participants list:

 

Chandra, Athreya & I start from Columbia Asia. Honda has work related commitments and will not join us

Prats will join Anjana at the turn-off point

Mahesh will start from CCD. Tima will be the mobile water station from CCD onwards...

 

Cheers,

Manoj
