The foucault test looks a lot more complicated than it really is. The main thing is having a stable base.

Thanks Efacy

Glad you did something fun instead of running 90km

It gave me chills watching the start this year

Yeah it's not the easiest route. Save yourself for the end as there's a massive climb that caught us quite off guard. But, it's really the most beautiful race. Dress warmly!

Hi There, I'm good thanks. I hope you're well too. For a smaller mirror like an 8 inch or smaller, it's easier to just turn the tool every so often. The main aim is to be quite random in your approach and to make sure you're always either always clockwise or always turning anti clockwise on the tool as well as the mirror. Rotating tables are great, but its easier to introduce flexing in the surface which could cause turned edges or odd shapes.

@@BornAdventures thanks very much

Good luck! I'm glad that it helps. The route on this one is slightly different to what 2023's route will be. I'll see if I have time to make an updated one and will post it here.

@@BornAdventures Thanks so much for the well wishes! There will be loads of PBs this year with the 2km we get back in "change" for 2023. If you're running this one too, good luck as well!

I’m already having goosebumps! 🥹

Good luck! We'll be watching from a nice cozy couch. See you at the start in 2025!

Thank you. Nice and cozy couch sounds nice and cozy, but also really really boring!! 🤣😉✌🏼

Thank you. I hope that your race went well?

@@BornAdventures Comrades is a bit far for me lol, but I do enjoy your videos, look forward to the next!

Runzone was really great on the day. Someone will stand up the road from the tent and when you get to them they'll shout or run to get your baggie ready for you. Graemes support along the route is a real motivation too. Good luck!

Yes. The start is bitterly cold. They make fires which take the sting off. Dress warmer than you think for the start. They have bins to throw your jersey in after the start and these are donated to the community.

Sani is number one on our bucket list.

It's pretty terrible.

Thank you

Lots of personal things put a pause on this. Got a kid on the way too. I can make an instructional on that? I think I'll pick it up in a year or so. Sorry for the long delay in posting.

That's a great idea! Thanks for sharing.

Not really. Had some health issues which has made it impossible to run. But, trying to get them sorted so we can be back out there again.

@@BornAdventures sorry to hear that. Wishing you a speedy recovery...as you may of seen on my channel, i had one or two health issues last year, but making progress again now 🙂

Thank you. Good luck for the race. I hope that your qualifying has gone well?

@@BornAdventures thank you! I had a fastish marathon time that qualified me to the first block. This will be an extra mind game... Fortunately the ultra distance trainings are going well so far.

I haven't worked with epoxy before. But, I've heard of a technique like this before to create the basic shapeon much larger mirrors. It's a very interesting idea and I'd love to see the results. I'd guess that you'll get to a circular shape which you could figure later into a parabola. And by changing the rotation speed you could also adjust the focal length.

@@BornAdventures you get a direct parabola bottom mold, to press/cast against, whichever way you choose to use this type of mathematical shape/mold making

So do you mean that you pour in epoxy in a circular container, spin it and as it cures it'll produce a parabolic shape? That's really neat! I'd love to try it out!

And does this need refining to bring it in shape or is it already good enough to produce an image?

@@BornAdventures well check out the parabolic liquid metal astronomic mirrors, the idea came from there, but instead of it staying liquid, its cast from epoxy (or anything that will be solid after the operation) and yes basically

It's a great race!

As soon as things settle down enough, it'll come.

@@BornAdventures ok

Congratulations. Amazing time 👏

Thank you so much for the kind message.

Thank you!

Thanks.

I'll have to post a photo sometime. Yes. I got the medal that year. So far it's two from three starts.

Thank you

Thanks. I'm hoping to do it again in 2024.

Good luck!!!

Lol. That's how I feel about that race. Definitely a love hate relationship

Thank you!
