emiljs Posted March 15, 2010 Share When I crossed the finish line my polar said 3.28:05. My official time is closer to 3.29. Does it mean the final race time was only calculated when you went over the mat at the end? If so, it really sucks, as I slowed down considerably after crossing the finish line and about 20 passed me before I got to the final mat. Can anybody confrim?

ThRoTTLeS-WP Posted March 15, 2010 Share where do you check time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emiljs Posted March 15, 2010 Share I check my time when the gun goes off at the start and when crossing the finish line. Is it not suppose to work like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Zone Posted March 15, 2010 Share My time was spot on, always has been. The race starts when the gun goes off for your start group and ends when you cross the finish line. Some people start their stopwatches when they hit the start mats, it can take some time to get there which will throw your time off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustinS Posted March 15, 2010 Share I think the timing mats are actually positioned about 100m further up the road from the finish line & thats why ur final time is slightly more than what you recorded on ur polar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bos Posted March 15, 2010 Share 30 secs over 3;30 hours...?? thats like a 0.2% discrepency.. not a big deal camaan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emiljs Posted March 15, 2010 Share Just spoken to Racetec. They say the last mat is a backup mat in case the chip signal was not picked up when you crossed the finish line at high speed . In that case I presume my signal was not picked up going over the finish line.Lesson to learn then... do not slack down until you reach the final mat; as to adjust your time by Racetec would be close to impossible.
