James H: 'I'm missing from the results'

This same race has lost runners or the results at least 3 times in the past 6 years.. There's obviously no checking who has finished from the numbers given out...

Each time its been harmless but results taking have a safety element.. I was slagged off in the news letter by the same RO for suggesting chip timing after the Peris debarcle.. I'd all but guarantee chip timing wouldn't make a mistake every two years.. before now they've had adverts on the club site saying please email in your position and timing..

This is all well and good for the results but recording who has finished is an important part of the safety features in the race..

The way we have it now alls OK until something goes wrong then the shit hits the fan.. and then things change, all reactive no proactive measures, well very few anyway.
WPette won that one - her 3rd win on the bounce down there. I've been looking at some of her Strava splits on the Thursday night session Iain and she's putting your old ones under a bit of pressure

To be fair, I agree with Lecky (first for a while ).
Whilst I accept you will have some local knowledge of this race Iain, it's not right to take what happens in the results generally and associate it with athletes unaccounted for.
Results are one of the ways, but not the only way.
