Steemit Ultra Marathon – Game two – round three

trevor.george (67) in competition • 7 years ago

We are getting into the meat of the race now with the lead pack battling it out for supremacy. Who will be the first to try and break away?

Check out the results from round two

Runners, you need to tell me:

How fast you intend to run – a number from 1-15 (you can use decimal places if you like e.g. 5.5)
How many hours you intend to run for – a number from 1-2 (you can use a decimal for partial hours e.g. 1.5)
How many energy gels you will consume – a number from 0 – however many gels you have (whole numbers only)
If you want to rest, how long you intend to rest (in hours) – a number from 1-2

Runners have until 8am tomorrow New Zealand time, to tell me their choices. Anyone not replying in the next 24 hours will be classed as DNF (Did Not Finish).

Who else can tell you stories about impersonating an officer, stealing a military aircraft to go on a booze run, or steal military aircraft and go on an unsanctioned bombing run - and that's all before he turned 18!

You will have to wait for the next game, which will start after this one has finished. It will be in about three or four days time depending on how fast the players can get through the course.

... and also, just a tip... if you say you have upvoted the post, then it pays to actually upvote the post. I checked and you didn't upvote it.

If yu don't want to upvote it that's fine. but don't say that you have when you haven't. That will get you flagged.

Do I recover health if I use more gels?

No. Each gel gives you 1 extra kilometer, and adds a little bit of damage to your health i.e. the more gels you take the more upset your stomach becomes.

To recover your health you need to either rest or run slower than the speed value for the terrain you are running over.

e.g. if the speed value is 10 and you run at 8 then you will recover some health. Or you can rest for 1 or 2 hours and see your health recover.

If you rest you will only cover 3 kms for that turn, but your health damage will be cut in half for each full hour that you rest.

If you only cover 3 km for that turn when resting is there any point in resting for less than 2 hours? because as I understand it you cover 3 km no matter how much you rest, so why not rest the full allocated time?

In the previous game you could run AND rest during a turn. The game engine will handle this no problem. But I was getting confused entering the numbers and messed things up on the last turn.

So for this game I'm trying it so you can only run OR rest.

So yes, if you are going to rest it makes sense to rest for 2 hours.
