Well, "official times" and "arriving late" apparently don't go together, as they did NOT adjust my chip time for the race and have me down crossing at a 0:00 delay from the official start - not 7 minutes or whatever it actually was.Originally Posted by colby
I was hoping to get close to 2 hours. I missed hitting my watch at the finish (they were trying to hand me medals, I was trying to stop my watch, hit the wrong button entirely - next time just hit the lap button and figure it out later), but when I did finally hit it, it came up 1:56. Serious! I'm waiting for the "official" times.
Somehow I ALWAYS arrive late to this race. No matter how well I try to plan ahead, I'm always late. It's my curse. Hooray for timing chips.Last time this happened to me they told me I should have asked an official timer, not the guy with the microphone, whether I should start or not. I'm somewhat afraid they're going to give me the same lecture if I ask if it's possible to adjust.
ETA: I would have been 30/136 in my age group (22%). 137/821 females (17%). 320/1228 overall (26%). Apparently a competitive age group.
