      yup...big whoops.. but RD owned up to it and really is trying the best he can to work out everybody's times. I am one of the lucky ones that got a correct chip time...but I didn't have the complete splits.

          I've heard of a few races using this system that have had problems. Maybe they need to work the bugs out before using this in a major race.

              Yes, but that does not account for chip timing. So if it took you 5 minutes to get to the starting line, you may be outta luck.

                True, but chip time will always be less than gun time. So if you have a photo of yourself crossing the finish line with a BQ time (which would be gun time), that should be enough, right? B/c if your gun time qualifies, than so does your chip time.

                On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office.  But you will wish that you'd spent more time running.  Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.
