Freescale Update

I mentioned last night that the chip time didn't work out correctly. Well, take a gander at this e-mail I received earlier today...

Freescale Marathon and Half Marathon
Chip Timing and Results Issue

Dear TTUTri
Round Rock, TX


RunFAR Racing Services, Inc was responsible for the timing and scoring of the 2006 Freescale Marathon and Half Marathon. At the start of the race, we misdiagnosed an interference problem and failed to review how our staff set up the digital antenna controllers. As a result, we missed half of the participants at the start line. We regret to inform you of this mistake and we are truly apologetic for the mishap.

We are able to do manual inserts of participants start offset or the time it took for you to get to the start line after the horn was sounded. If you know your start offset time you may contact us to adjust your chip time. If you have already contacted us with your start time, please do not re-email as we are working to adjust your chip time. (NOTE: We will only authorize those start times with comparable paces between the 1st 10k and each other split throughout the course.)

We appreciate your attention to this matter and thank you for you patience. At RunFAR, our goal is to take the best care of our customers as possible. If you have any other questions or comments you may reach our office at 512-326-1600.

Sincerely,

Raul Najera

So, how about that? I turned in a 8m:06s offset. I'm hoping that I'll get a better idea of how I ranked in the overall result after it is fixed. I'll keep you posted.
