How many iTunes vouchers would it take to persuade you that my team's name is best?

Believe me, I'm dabbling waaaaay into the depths of pure oddness..
I plan to win both best team name AND fastest man in Zone 1.
Though the latter may not go down well, with my fellow team member(s), since it will involve me abandoning him/them at a station while I dally forth..

Bent challengers! I will not have it! This is a fair contest and is all below ground and above board.

I AM the men in white coats! I run too fast even for myself!
Even if you all wore white coats you'd not catch me! I'm the beast released from Aldgate East, and my lead-lined CD cases will weigh you all to the spot on Friday. You're doomed!

I, and my fellow team members, shall be wearing a white t-shirt.
Does that count?

Cloud conditions matter not to me... rain means more possible things can go wrong with the tube network itself, pssibly meaning more delays.. but that's doing to affect everyone on the day, hopefully.
Rain also means a greater danger of slipping over on those glossy staircases! My trainers are slippery enough as it is!
I'd prefer the day to be as cool as possible, really. Temperature takes precedence over precipitation.
What WOULD be major is if an entire section of track in Zone 1 were to close for all or part of the challenge. That would throw everyone's routes into turmoil!

What if someone were to accidentally leave a rather large bomb-shaped package on one of their trains..
Would that disqualify them? Or just make them forgetful?

I will be wearing my AFC Wimbledon shirt on the day - simply for the purpose of advertising and product placement. Team name not decided as I haven't got a team or a route yet (unfortunate time for me to be on a Tube downer).

I'll be sure to fill a box with flour, wrap it in brown paper and write in big letters on the front
"SARS Releaser"
"For the attention of Mr T. Blair, 10 Downing St, London"

Low levels of rain are probably good for getting people off the streets (useful if you're running), but this pushes them into the tube (where we'll be spending most of the afternoon if we're honest!).
I'm looking for a reasonably cool day so that I don't overheat underground
