How soon do you check your race results online? (Read 736 times)

I just ran a half marathon this morning and it's 5:40 and the website STILL DOESN'T have the results up! Is this normal? I mean, every single race I have run has always had results up by this time of day. I'm sorta ticked off about it, LOL!

hey, is that you in that skirt? ::whistles:: that is a super cute skirt too!

As a race director of a small marathon, I pride myself in getting results up ASAP. But that meant 4PM, after we finished race takedown at 3PM. Most races, unless they have live tracking, have a ton of things to do before they can get around to putting the results up. There is takedown, awards, vetting the results, waiting until every runner can be accounted for, etc. You generally know your marathon finish time down to within a few seconds when you cross the finish line anyway. Until just a couple years ago, you would not know your official time until you got your certificate in the mail 4-8 weeks later.

I finally emailed them late last night and got a reply this morning. THe results are on ANOTHER website! How totally (*$*(%*^(%$^*#)(%(&#(*$ LAME! The pre race paper they gave us said the results would be at the race site. IN MOtion SUCKS!

I'm normally surprised if it's anything under a day - i suppose there's a lot of admin involved in running an event so I guess a couple of days would be sufficient time to get something online. With a big event i ran last October (18,000 runners) i felt the times were uploaded too early. They seemed to be altering the data after it had been uploaded which meant my final position kept changing (i guess as they amended records for the other runners)

they posted results at www.runraceresults.com how'd you like it? So far, I really like the AFC...it's the easiest, LOL! Silver Strand was boring, San Dieguito is non stop hills and this one was just one big hill after another. I'm such a wimp. That's what I get for training at the bay...my only *hills* are over a bridge or 2. I did pr...I beat my last hm by over 3 minutes and my last pr (2006 AFC) by well over a minute. 1:47:19 So, I was happy to see those numbers. My garmin was only one second off this time.

Thanks, I found my results. We hung out in the massage tent, so I did find out my chip time then, but was just curious about my standings. I didn't win ha! Congrats on your PR! It was my first half, so I don't have anything to compare it to, except for a 5K and 10K in the LA area this fall. I thought the course was beautiful, and that's specifically why I chose it for my first half. That and the "no hills" advertising, which, by the way, wasn't true. But, none of them were bad. The roads were slanted, though, and that caused the only pain I really had. I was absolutely wiped out last night and now I am sick with a cough and chills. I do feel like I gave it my all, though, and am proud of that.

Well after three days I got fed up of waiting and emailed the race director to ask when they were posting the times/results. The answer... Hi Claire We hope to have the results on our web site later this week or early next Regards Ian Poo. It could be another week! They know how to torture a girl don't they. Claire xxx
