Interim race results

[Tim]

This year we're hoping to make interim race results available on the site.

Please note that these are provisional results and a lot depends on GPRS access, technical gizmos and people learning "on the job" so to speak so if it doesn't work, please don't complain.

If it *does* work, you may be able to download interim results in PDF or XLS format or view them direct on the interim results page (follow the link on the home page). This might not happen until the first finishers start coming in but it may be possible for us to upload earlier split time.

I doubt that we will be able to upload all formats simultaneously (GPRS is *slow*) so the small file formats will receive priority (PDF and XLS).

Fingers crossed that it all works!

Nice Idea hope it works as I've a few people interested in following my progress from afar.\

Just quick question- Are the race nos Right? Just looked on the provisional results page and I'm 540 and not 343 as the email sent from Ellen said.
Just want to make sure as I've numbered up my Drop bags for the race and want to know if I need to change them?

Cheers,
Richard

Well spotted Richard.

I think you should assume that the race numbers as given on the "Starters" page are correct. The files that were being displayed on the "provisional results" page were temporary working files and it seems some older files crept in (sneaky b*ggers! ;D)

To avoid any further confusion I've removed the offending files and we'll put up the correct files later.

Thanks for the heads-up.

Cheers!

Interim results, great service!

Just checked, Jez Bragg in the lead at Rowardennan (3:29) followed by Donald Naylor (3:30) and... Marco! (3:31)

Marco, are you not going too fast here?

;-)

Seeya tomorrow!
