Race day
Paste a URL. Get a plan your crew can run from.
Absorb reads the race's own page, works out what your training can and cannot cover, and turns it into a stop-by-stop plan. It refuses to invent the parts it does not know.
It reads the race page so you do not have to
Sub-pages, embedded scripts, the PDF nobody has opened since 2019, and the course map that is a photograph of a printout. Out comes your aid-station list: distances, cutoffs, crew access, drop bags.
If it is not written on the page, Absorb deletes it rather than guessing. "The page did not say" is a real answer here.
Then it plans the race against what you have actually run
Every climb gets one question: have you run this before?
Where you have, Absorb uses your own demonstrated pace on that terrain at that gradient. Where you have not, it says so and widens the range.
Push the effort slider on terrain you have never run and almost nothing happens
You cannot plan a fantasy. On ground where you have demonstrated no ceiling, Absorb barely lets the projection move.
The philosophy, expressed as arithmetic rather than as a disclaimer.
A range, and the odds you do not finish
Four rungs from a strong day to an almost certain one, with the chance of a DNF reported on its own rather than buried in an optimistic number.
Clipped to the cutoff, so you never read "95% done by 31 hours" on a 30 hour race.
Fuelling per stop, not per hour
What you take on at kilometre 62, how long you mean to stand there, and what somebody needs to be holding when you arrive.
Your reminders come back out on your watch
Drop fuel marks onto the course profile, re-download your GPX, and they arrive as alerts mid-race. The mark's name is the alert text, because that is the field a watch displays.
Then the race becomes evidence
A few minutes of rundown afterwards, and every note you make on a leg feeds the pattern engine. The next projection is anchored on what actually happened.
