Subject: RE: Buffalo Triathlon - Sprint Course : Official ThreadMy buddy David is PO'ed on his time 1:00:09 for his Sprint.
He took 2nd. Here's his story.
He started in the first wave and led the whole way to the finish line.
He was the first to cross the finish line in first wave.
Later when he checked the results, his name was not there.
Found out the race director that primary timing device didn't get it.
They went to the backup timing and it didn't get it as well.
They had to go to the video tape and try to figure out his time.
After hours they came back with 1:00:09.
He came home and download the race file from his watch and it showed 59:15.
He's not contesting the placement. Just bad timing.
How could the timing crew be not ready?
