Nope. I was UPDing, going really fast, UPDing, and going really fast
(for me).

a fast time on the set of results that were posted before - did he get
disqualified or something?
It looks like they've made a concession for the third Yellow Line rider
not being there and given them the same time as the slower of the two
actual riders in the team.

Thanks for posting that.
I'm a bit confused about one thing though. How did I (and 62 other
riders) get beaten by a rider called Yellow Yellow that wasn't even
there? According to the stats he finished in 42nd place with a time of
10:28 - not bad for someone that doesn't exist!
I've checked the rules and they state;
> Any rider who is unable to finish the criterium will be given the
> maximum slow time plus 5 minutes
So shouldn't that give him a time of 18:47?

Well, if we'd have known we could have done that, then Joe and myself
would have sat out and taken the 5th and 6th place :D

Yellow team (Nathan and Beau) were penalized enough by NOT having a 3rd
rider! So the decision, if I recall correctly, was to create a rider
called Yellow Yellow and to assign that rider the time of the slower
rider, which is why Nathan Hoover and "Yellow Yellow" have identical
times.
Signe is a wonderful rider. I loved racing along with her thruout the
first 4 days. Then her team got off to an excellent start on day 5, and
we didn't see much of them. They were in 12th place (to our 9th) after
day 1 and ended up in 8th (to our 10th) by the end.

I think the results should be posted differently... I mean, they should
take into account the racers with the same recorded time. I'm 18th and
17th place has the same time, so I think technically they should be
18th too. I hope you understand what I'm getting at.

like if 16, 17, 18 all have the same time they all should be in 16th
place? Thats what I think because it makes me sound much better when i
say I was 18th fastest in the crit Vs. I got 26th in the crit. :)

Usually, in swim, that's what they do with the places. It's always been
that they would record two people in second and no one in third, say,
for a tie for second place. I think that makes the most sense. I've
seen a three-way tie for first, which was really cool. The results went
1, 1, 1, 4, 5, 6... Only in a really short race is that even possible,
though :)

I was amongst those whe spent a lot of time going through the photo
finishes, and there were a few instances where people crossed the line
during the same second, but not at precisely the same time. Although if
they were in different heats it was a bit harder to judge.

Are these the official times and rankins?
Or are the ones in Uni magazine official?
There seem to be some discrepancies between the two :confused:

I've not looked at every single time, rider or position, but take my
result for example;
Day 3 - Time trial. Website I'm 54th. Magazine I'm 53rd.
Day 3 - Criterium. Website I'm 51st. Magazine I'm 50th.
I think I know which is right, and why. (And I know which I prefer.)
But they can't both be right, and only one can be official.

On the website in 42nd place there is the rider "yellow yellow" from
Team Yellow Line Fever. To avoid that team profiting or being penalized
from having one rider less, it was decided by the officials to have this
'rider' given the same time as their slowest rider (Nathan Hoover). We
kept this out of our tables to avoid confusion and to give a true
ranking - so anyone below 42nd on the RTL website actually did one
place better.
The same applies for place 33 and below on the time trial.

Additionally, I love the little unicycle icons indicating each team's
equipment choices.

Thanks Mike. I can see where the positions changed, and it makes
sense, being fair to everyone.
If I'm reading it right, though, you're saying that the results in Uni
are the official ones? Maybe this is a question for the RTL officials,
but shouldn't the RTL website have the true rankins? Anyone that didn't
buy Uni wouldn't know any different.
Oh, and well done on representing the main results on the center page
of the magazine. I think the coloured lines really help to add some
clarity about who was beating who at what point.

Yes, me too actually.
Until I saw that, I didn't realise that Team Goonies were the *only
*team not to use a 36" at any point. I guess that makes us #1 team -
on 29" only!

I used a 36" for 8-10k on the ridge of that last mountain on the first
day when my knee went out because I thought the 36 would be easier on
it, but that was not the case. So...we aren't the #1 team on 29" only,
but we will always be the #1 team at RTL 2008.

Really? I remember the 36" being in the way in the van all the time,
and lugging it in and out to move things, and faffing with cranks on
the 2nd day, but I didn't remember you riding it. Ah, well. I'll draw
a little symbol next to the results in my copy of Uni to indicate that
:)
