Ok, so the more they email me, the more I get nervous about the water temp. Last year it was 69 which stung to get in, but it made for a nice swimming temp. By the end, though, my fingers and toes felt a little numb, but that could have been tired (??).
But this year, it could be up to 10 degrees colder?! What to do when the coolest water I can find here in Cincinnati is 80?
We own a chip timing company. (we have done Boston/Chicago/lots of top marathons)
They should be able to go in the chip timer's system and see exactly when the chip entered the water and when it finished.(that's why you use chips)
I assume the reason we cross a mat before we enter the water is to make sure they know who went in what wave.
If anyone really doubts the results they should go to the chip timing company (whoever they were) and check the results. :bitching:
