Winning Time at 94.7

[sorelegs]

Winning Time did it again. After wrongly issuing me with a second chip for the 94.7, the person at their stand asured me that my first chip would work ..... and guess what ..... 'no results available for this rider'. I did send them an email but that seems to be ignored currently. I may not be an elite rider of any sorts but I worked hard for my result and I expect it to be registered for future seedings at least.

 

Did anybody elses time also get messed up? Does anybody perhaps who I can contact at Winning Time to sort this out for me?

My time was about 15 min slower than when I looked at my clock when I crossed the finish line and stopped with beeeeeg cramp. Someone told me to keep moving, but I couldn't...... only later did I discover the finish wasn't really the finish and I'm really very annoyed with that because it is SHABBY, WRONG and DECEITFUL. I mean they could have had the mat before the finish if they couldn't have them under the gantry because of the magnetic field stuff or whatever GGGGRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!

It may not be a perfect system, but it sure beats the old days when I used to run. Some dude sat there with a clicker and clicked the number of runners entering the stadium (which was the usual sort of finishing point.)

 

Not only was this dude adept at clicking, some other chap was furiosly writing down times of runners and then they used to sort of tie thes two things up and give you an approximately my best guestimate of what your time was on the "official results".

 

More often than not, my official time was a few minutes slower than my own timed run.

 

There are not too many altenatives and yes, I agree, they should have some kind of system in place to ensure that your result is accurate.

 

If you had any doubt, you should have used the latest chip issue to you and gotten them to sort out the admin issues later. Having said thatthough, the mat should have recorded your chip and the time for that chip, regardless of how many you have.

 

Obviously there is some kind of administrative proble with WT and the organisers should be made aware of sh!t like this.

 

Not only did you work hard for your time during the race, but all that training man. What a monumental disaster from WT.  

 

The race organisers need to ay attention to stuff like this. Fininshing times are important to all of us.
