Comments:

This entire report is an approximation based on my best estimates. The mats did not record my times as my USAT chip was incorrectly registered. They tell me I had entered an O and it should have been an 0(zero).
Also their manual finish time for me was 1:23:06 but my stopwatch time was 1:21:06. Their's is the official time. Next race I will scan my chip before I race.

Event comments:

If you are racing with a new chip then I recommend that you have the race directors scan it prior to the race to insure that it will register correctly.
