But how come Oli and Pete don't have times down for Grindslow Knoll and Ringing Roger? In fact there are quite a few times missing throughout the results list, so how is it determined whether or not they missed the CP or simply they didn't dib properly? I suppose it's a bit more obvious when 3rd place misses a checkpoint vs a mid-pack runner!
In Simons case he did the honourable thing and came to the RO and put is hand up and told us he'd missed it, it was discussed allowing it to stand but as Simon said he didn't go to all the CP's, it wouldn't have effected his position though. not sure about the others, it was noisy at some cps due to wind noise so knowing whether the dibber bleeped can be an issue, I understand they checked with race marshals who were taking numbers as a back up.
