The notebook, explained

The notebook is the 🏃 Athletes tab, first in the bar of Le Cairn. Each runner has a line there, and a 6-digit PIN: it is what identifies them everywhere — in their races, and in their Cupboard.

To enter them in a race, “+ Add to the race” pours a copy into the race. Running alone? Put yourself in your own notebook, like any other runner.

You correct somebody inside a race? Le Cairn asks you: “Update the notebook?” Yes, and the correction goes back up to the notebook: the next race will find it. “This race only”, and it stays where it is.

• What follows the person: their name, weight, climb cost, threshold and drift, their phone, the name and number of their emergency contact — and their “Starting too fast” alert threshold.
• What stays with the race: the race number, which changes from one edition to the next.

A runner's PIN opens their races and their Cupboard. The crew code belongs to each race: it opens the app in the Crew role, for that race. And the public only needs the race code.

Change a PIN? The old one stops working that very instant, even on a phone that stayed signed in.

A free note about a runner — “dodgy right knee”, “cannot take caffeinated gels”. Only you can read it: neither the runner, nor a teammate, nor a professional you open a race to can see it.

It touches the body and health: that is why it does not live in the race, but apart, in your account.

In the notebook, the 👥 Food drawer column: their own, or shared with someone in the notebook. For a couple, that is one stock of gels instead of 2 to keep track of. The rest — stars, food reactions, kit, PIN — stays each person's own. The detail is in the Cupboard guide.

The protocol is a runner's way of racing: their ranges, the interval between intakes, the refill size, water and drink flow rates, the Pebble-Dropper sliders, their kit. At the top of 🎯 Strategy, 📥 Reuse lays it on a new race, from one of your races or from a file; 📤 Export takes it away.

The file has the .miettes extension — the crumbs you drop to find your way back. It can be given away: it carries no PIN, no phone number, no race number, no track, no cut-offs.
