Gobi Nov 2007 12:06pm, 30 Nov 2007 16,931 posts	0 Gobi BB I can bring multipy stop watches and I am prepared to timekeep with Rach obviously except when I am running Gobi
B.B. Nov 2007 12:13pm, 30 Nov 2007 11,269 posts	0 B.B. It's quite hard with just stop watches isn't it - do you just hit 'split' each time a runner comes over - all a bit complicated
Tpod Nov 2007 12:13pm, 30 Nov 2007 372 posts	0 Tpod I was just going to time myself. Do we need someone takig 'official' times?
Rach E Nov 2007 12:27pm, 30 Nov 2007 1,619 posts	0 Rach E I think it would be a shame for it not to be timed. I'm all for keeping it as relaxed as possible, but timing would make it more bonafide (particularly if we've got the big boys like Nike there). I'm happy to time any "heats" I'm not in. It'll be straightforward with two people.
anne23 Nov 2007 12:30pm, 30 Nov 2007 133 posts	0 anne23 I quite like the idea of having it timed somehow because I'm always forgetting to press stop until a while after I finish and in a race this short it'll make a big difference. And I'm very happy to help with timing in the ones I'm not in as long as someone who knows what they're doing gives me some idiotproof instructions.

Mikuro Nov 2007 12:33pm, 30 Nov 2007 5,135 posts	0 Mikuro I will make a chart or something we can record the times on if Gobi doesn't bring one with his many stopwatches. I don't think I have a clipboard tho. Doh! Awaiting the medals for the kiddies, ordered 10 as there's not many doing it anymore.
Last of the Time Lords Nov 2007 12:34pm, 30 Nov 2007 51 posts	0 Last of the Time Lords I intend to come and spectate, and because Gobi said he would buy me a pint afterwards. I have some experience of timekeeping and am willing to help. If you are going to have semi-official time keeping, will you all be wearing numbers? Otherwise it's near impossible.
