Select a distance, either from the drop box or by manual entry. To specify miles, enter the number of miles, a space, and an m, or anything starting with m. To specify kilometres, just enter the number of kilometres.

Option 1

Enter a time in the format h:mm:ss (you don't need to use colons, anything, including spaces, works fine. 90:00 is the same as 1:30:00. 120:00 is NOT the same as 2:00:00). Click "Get Points". Island Series points will be displayed along with equivalent times for the other distances, estimated VO2max and Lactate Threshold running paces and split times for the specified distance.

Option 2

Enter a points score and click "Get Time". The corresponding race time will be displayed along with equivalent times for the other distances, energy system paces, and splits.

Option 3

Enter a mile or kilometre pace in the format (m)m:ss (the same as the time format) and click "Get Time". The corresponding race times, points and all the other stuff will be displayed.

Notes

If you enter goofy values, you'll probably get goofy results.

* "VO2max pace" is the estimated pace you could maintain for no more than 10 minutes. "Lactate threshold pace" is the estimated pace you could maintain for no more than 60 minutes. These values are estimated for the entertainment of geeks only. Their inclusion here is not intended as an endorsement of their use in a training program. Use at your own risk.
