Please don't confuse someone elses undersuscribed away event for a full up Potomac event at the home track. Apples to apples. The reasons i was given was that 3 longer runs gave more time on track but...

1. They were 30 min each not 25. 4X20 = 80 min 3X25 = 75. Even I can do the math! It was to be 3X30=90 WEven that is not the best as brain fade plays in and, I feel, reduces safety.

2. The other reason was less jumping around by the instructors from car to car but I feel that impinging on the overall event for the students over something not safety related but more comfort related is shortsighted.

And folks wonder why the middle groups are declining. Sheeeesh!

This is odd. At the Instructor Candidate seminar, they told us that they would be switching to 4 run groups per day. the primary reason was student focus and safety. There were only a couple of guys who didn't like the idea, but most liked it. I wonder what happened.
