New ELM leagues - Free Spirits fun and Free Spirits extreme
I just wanted to publicise two new ELM leagues that people may not have heard about.
Mike (7 marathons in 7 days) set up the league Free Spirits extreme for longer challenges.
I just set up Free Spirits fun league for challenges that involve skill - power will have no bearing on the results.
For those that have not yet tried it, the link to the ELM web site is at the top of this page. Register (as a Free Sprit) then join the leagues.
N.B. You need to go to the second or third page of leagues to find the new ones.
There is nothing to stop you joining both leagues!

Music is cheating or not?
Thomas,
I tried it in the middle of a longer row the other day - opened my eyes at 509 metres! But then I was counting!
How about listening to music - is that allowed?
Cos I know lengths of some tracks which give clues....
All good fun though...

NOTE
To get into the Free Spirits extreme and fun leagues, go into the "All Leagues" option, go to "Next Page" at the bottom of the list . Then join the 2 leagues .
You can be in all 3 leagues at the same time
I gave the Blind 500 a go today, I think it's one of those challenges you have to do twice . I got 443, and counted to 45 . I'll try counting to 50 tomorrow, hopefully I'll stay under the 500m.

Who's cheating now!!!!!
John - you aren't allowed to count - that's the whole point isn't it Thomas?
I made that mistake when I first tried it, then read the instructions afterwards so didn't enter my time.
If I can count, I can get very close!!

I didn't read the details properly
I just read this forum, yours and Thomas's post made me think counting was ok.
What am I like ? believing something yourself and Thomas said

And I did a 50 count 481 meter today . I'm changing my ELM entry to a 1, which I will hopefully improve on without counting in the next few daysThomas W-P wrote: I was counting too! I had decided that 45 strokes was about right, but had a panic attack and stopped at 40.

I panic on the blind 500m despite the fact that I have yet to get within 70m of 500m! For some reason I don't believe evidence of three failed efforts.
But my Bulls Eye was *very* close - I was nearly two seconds over but only had to add one second with 2001m in 10.01.7.
I am adding a silly new challenge today. Thought of it whilst away this weekend.
