Well, well, well, 110 views and 14 replies later, my route has caused all the proverbial controversy.
This is allowing everyone to work it out for themselves, indeed, which is bad.
It was unwise to publish it. I have been saying some very unwise things lately, as I always have.
In fact, I should have just kept it secret, as I doubt that, if Regents Park is indeed the starting station, the routes will get any better than that! We will have a very uninteresting day ahead of us if it is.
The Russoodgell Street Square run does sort out the men from the boys, but there may be some very stupid boys present on the day. Hell, it'll be the day after my Electromagnetism exam, I'll be feeling suicidal as well. It's a run that I certainly cannot sprint (it's about 4 times longer than sprinting would realistically allow) and one that I have had enough of. Coupled with lifts at either end of the run, it's not sensible. Not only that, but you HAVE to use the lifts to get out onto the surface, because if you don't, you will be walking between the stations VERY SLOWLY.
I was quite aware that this was either very similar to, or identical to, the route used by Steve Paull when winning last year's run.
If the perfectly rational throught of Regents Park had even entered my mind, I would not have bothered posting this route in the first place. Now I have, and half the challengers know about it, and it's spoiled all the fun for everyone.
