races & results

[dirtrider]

Yip or at least beat his 2 year old son . Results are a nice to have when they eventually gets released . And really 5 or 10 minutes does not make a huge difference unless you did not make the cutt-off because of time difference or you lost 1st or 2nd place .

Results might not be important to a lot of people, but then why enter a race. Save the money and simply ride your favourite route.

 

Being competitive by nature and the fact that I'm chasing personal goals, I only enter events that have proper timing.

 

This race was advertised as having Winning Time as the official timekeepers so I made the effort of wearing my chip.

 

With an electronic chip results are captured each time a signal is received over the mat. With a manual timing it relies on someone capturing data and perhaps explains the gap between myself and a mate who sprinted up the hill and crossed the line almost side by side .... he beat me!

 

Either way, the results are captured and should be available almost immediately.

 

Another gripe is that the results don't have positions ...... so did I finish in the top third of the field or not?

 

Very shoddy end to an otherwise awesome event.

Agree with idrive.

 

If you paying for the timing it should be done properly.  Not lekka-slapgat-when-I come-off-my-high I'll do it.

 

Have been to tri's where there is no elec timing and results are posted same day or next morning latest.
