re: The NY City Marathon, 'net time v. gun time, ChampionChips

VM, what was I saying about wearing appliances yesterday?

Runners in today's marathon will be wearing chips to track their finishing times. Hmm.. can you think of other, more sinister uses? More beneficial ones?

nyrrc.org

Some snips:

"The Chip must be attached to your SHOE with the long, narrow centerpiece pointing towards your toes (not across your foot!) The Chip must not be worn or carried elsewhere or it will not work."

"**Your Net Time Is the time it takes you to complete the race course from the moment you cross the starting line to the moment you cross the finish line. Your "gun" time or official time is the time it takes you to complete the race course from the moment the starting gun is fired until the moment you cross the finish line. In accordance with USA Track & Field rules, the "gun" time will be your official time and the time on which all awards will be based. We will however provide you with your "net" time for your informational purposes. Both net times and gun times will be listed on your finisher's certificate and in the race results posted on the Internet."

The NYC Marathon's home page is @ nyrrc.org

Regards, Frank Coluccio

ps - rushing out the door to get milk and bread before they block off the local streets here in sunny Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, first stop off the bridge. Gun time is one hour and nine minutes from now. Second thought, the streets are already blocked off, most likely. I guess it's going to be an Atkins day, today.
