Timing
Timing for Grin N Bear It will be using the Race Result Timing system. Timing mats will be used at the entry and exits to transition to record each leg start and finish time, as well as the amount of time spent in transition.
All solo entries and teams will be allocated one neoprene ankle strap transponder used to record times. Teams will need to swap the transponder between team mates in the transition area. The transponder must be worn on either the left or right ankle and be over the top of any clothing, including swimsuits.
During and after the event, results can be found on the my.raceresult.com website at https://my.raceresult.com/168286/.
Results can be displayed as Overall or by Category and selecting a competitor record will open up more details, such as leg and transition times and rankings.
On race day and at the event, results will be printed out and displayed during the day for those who do have access to the internet. If viewing on a mobile phone, the race results pages display best if the phone is turned sideways to landscape mode.
