I walked my first 1/2 marathon yesterday! Quite pleased with my results, too. I have a question about reading the race results, though. The columns across the top are: chiptime, pace, guntime, and "gend." What's "gend?" It's not gender, that's the next column.
Another question: why are the official results based on guntime v. chiptime. I mean, the chiptime is the actual time it took from point a to point b; it took me 10 minutes from gun time to reach the starting point!
Thanks for any clarification. I've caught the bug and am looking to walk another 1/2 soon!
