fandacious Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 Stupid winning time... they've got me a minute slower than I had on my garmin... oh well... 347/28669. slightly better than last years 5313/28641
controlc Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Why can't Race Administration Systems speed up their site? It's dead atm [guess everybody's trying to see their results!]
splat Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 controlc, I am waiting with bated breath for your upload of 2008 Argus results...
controlc Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 :-)Â I was busy running the scripts, but it bailed out at page # 2. Now I can't access the site. I'll post the xls file here as soon as I can download everything
controlc Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 The wt site is still timing out when you try and view results page-by-page. If I can't download the data this afternoon, I'll set the scripts to try downloading during the night.
controlc Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 update:The scripts managed to download and process 2% of the results  Hopefully everything will be downloaded and ready to put in xls format by tommorow morning.
rock Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 why don't you just type in the name of the person's time you want?
controlc Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 A lot of people [including me!] want the results in xls format to do processing on [for whatever reason. ie some clubs want it to easily compare club members' results offline] I can download all the data using the person's name, but then I need to know everyone's name! The current database structure used on the Race Administration Systems' site is, well, patheticly slow [especially for races with large amounts of entrants]. Most sql querries time out. I'm currently at just over 5% downloaded & processed. Seems that there is currently less traffic on the wt site
splat Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 Hey controlc, just checking up to see how your download is coming along.CheersSplat
controlc Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 I'm on my way to Grabouw, will be offline for about an hour. I've downloaded everything, but some of the results were "damaged", seeing that WT changed results WHILE I was downloading them. I've restarted the download last night, there's still +-10 pages to do. Once I get in Grabouw everything should be done. Check back in about 1h30, it should be done by then.
CaptainDura Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 Stupid winning time... they've got me a minute slower than I had on my garmin... oh well... 347/28669. slightly better than last years 5313/28641  Same happened to a buddy of mine with a Garmin The Garmin loses sattelite connection for a bit of time around chapmans peak and thus does not time for that period so your riding time is less by a minute or so. Thats why you need to get a polar.
