Just curious if anyone has ever disputed their race time with officials. I spoke with an official on deck this morning & she stood firm on her position that what was posted on the results sheet is true & correct. I didn't press it because I really didn't know what questions to ask or what if anything I could look at to see how they arrived at the time.
In my 100 back, my time came up on the reader board somewhat delayed I thought. My friend swimming 2 lanes down saw me come in several seconds after she did which would have made my time about 4 seconds faster than what was displayed & would have approximated how I was seeded. My split time for the 2nd 50 was really slow & just doesn't jive with how I swim this race. (My split times for 100's are historically closely matched & I felt strong thruout this race). I do have issues hitting the pad hard in backstroke, since I can't see where the wall is & don't want to hurt my hand.
My split times by the way: 39.22, 43.84. For me, these splits represent dying on the 2nd 50 after going out too fast; this was definitely not the case.
This was a good meet for me; I bettered 3 out of 4 times & felt strong & prepared.
I am a newby to Masters & if I'm all wet, I'll move on. There are many more races to be swum!
I am thankful for any feedback.
Never heard of anyone disputing results. Usually DQ is the case for dispute. In case of dispute you should not argue with meet officials - usually meet invitation describes the official disputing procedure. Furthermore, usually it's not for free, so if you dispute anything you'd better have some evidences like video of your distance.
