Subject: New Race
Just about every race I do has not been put into the data base yet so I've gotten good at adding them.

Couple of things:

Could we get the year of the race as part of the title?

Ironman Flebowitz 2012
lets me know I'm signing up for the right year
Ironman Flebowitz
does not and by the time anything comes up and tells me what year that particular race is, I've just about imported it into my race log.

Some of the fill in blanks are not as easy to fill in as may appear.

For instance I spent quite the while looking for contact information for
http://www.total200.com/

Well, there is contact information but it's a web form. Your pages will error out if you put a URL into the "Contact Email" box. I've tried. There's also not exactly a Race Organization that I can find other than one person who maintains the website. That may or may not be a person with any authority at all and probably is just the tech who runs the site.

Same with contact name, telephone and whatnot. A lot of that is web form based. Is it possible to get another line for "Contact URL" so there's somewhere to actually input that rather than putting it in the comments?

Thanks

Daniel,

If you find the race via the wizard, we want you to choose that one even if it's old.  You can change the date if it's an older one.  If you choose a race without updated info, it gets tagged so we can update it.  We like to maintain the same race link for every year that way we can keep together all race comments, reports and talk in one place.  This is the reason we don't put the dates on...as then everyone would create a new race and we would never have everything all in one place.
