The official time is always gun time.<BR/><BR/>Why the elites needed a 20min headstart instead of just 3-5 is the part I find confusing.<BR/><BR/>Sure, she had the fastest chip time, but she didn't have the fastest gun time, that's what counts.buzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03375102498975321528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3195456550562229802.post-28095001474957420992008-10-23T20:51:00.000-05:002008-10-23T20:51:00.000-05:00very true. it's impossible to guess what would hav...very true. it's impossible to guess what would have happened. she clearly ran a great race, with something like an 11-minute PR. to me, it really argues for elite starts to be used sparingly, if at all.Brian Morrisseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14109954832554945842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3195456550562229802.post-12199962131878142292008-10-23T20:34:00.000-05:002008-10-23T20:34:00.000-05:00Competition makes a race.

Had she been clocking that pace among the elite group, I imagine she would have spurred several of those runners to kick it into high gear, and my guess is she would have had an extremely tough time keeping up. <BR/><BR/>I'm impressed she was able to push herself so hard without competition in her group.
