Unless you are setting an official record somewhere, why would you NOT use chip time? Heck, it's your time, if you trust what you did with your watch why not use that? The only times I've been locked into using what was on a website is when using it as time verification to get into Boston or the elite group of a race. I'm not sure why being on a website should make it more legitimate. Heck, several years ago the Chicago Marathon adjusted the times of several elite runners belonging to teams connected with the race administration down by several seconds to get those runners under the A and B trials standards, without adjusting the times of any other runners around them. If it differs from the chip time who knows why.

Actually after posting this and talking to my husband I saw how idiotic I was being. Anyway's that number's going down anyways.

That's easy. What you do is find another 5K and erase the doubt. See you in March.

Cold is in the eye of the beer-holder. Take a good warmup, believe in your training and I am sure you will do it. You can throw on a layer to stay warm in the cold, it's hot that you can't do anything about. I thought we'd freeze racing last weekend but once past the first 1/4 mile it did not matter.

I just have a hard time getting my mind in the right spot when it's below freezing. Give me anything 32 - 110 degrees and I can get my mind into to it.
Training's gone better than ever before and it's pancake flat so it's just a matter of embracing the pain.

I know what you mean about the cold / heat amc! It should be okay temp wise this week. I think that it will be warmer there
than over here in Augusta.
Good luck with it!
