Winners is decide by GUN TIME, not CHIP TIME

原来 GUN TIME 比 CHIP TIME 更重要
但只是给那些要排名的啦, 如果你想跟自己比较, 只是需要看自己的 GUN TIME 就行啦 ^_^

Reminder to all runners who got potential to win prize in running races, please remember stand infront as you can,cause winners is decide by GUN TIME,not chip time.

read the rule from IAAF Excerpt from the IAAF Road Race Handbook - Pg 196 RULE 240

Note: For road races and road walking events, the official time will be the time elapsed between the start gun a...nd the athlete reaching the finish line.

However, if an athlete crosses the start line after the start gun, his time elapsed between the start and finish line can be made known to the athlete but will not be considered as official time. The order in which athletes reach the finish line will be considered as the official finish position. 196 RULE 240 .

N explain from race experience runners: Gun time is usually used for placing -- it is a race after all, and you determine order of finish by, oddly enough, order of finish. It wouldn't be fair to the leaders if you didn't use gun time for placing. What's the use in busting your butt to cross the line first, if you find out later that some guy who got to the race 6 minutes late is called the "winner" because his pace was faster?

Normally organiser just need to ask elite who have chance for prize stand infront,i think runners who worry their finisher medal,can stand second roll ? Chip also use as check point mah,if use manual,sure got more problem if u r organiser,u will know।

[文章篇] 愛上跑步

为这位读者打开自己健康第一步而开心
抄下这段"跑步的好处", 愿意与各位分享 ^_^

"跑著跑著，慢慢感覺到跑步帶來的好處。它讓我身心放鬆，心情郁悶前去跑跑步更讓我在一步步地踏出去時，猶如把煩腦卸除，我得以以輕快的身心，朝終點邁進。"

心底很清楚，情況持續下去，不只毀了自己，更會讓這個家走向破裂。

我自小個性懶散，是媽媽口中的“懶骨頭”，平時無所事事時最喜歡窩在沙發裡，學校的體育課是我最討厭的科目，年度運動會更是我避而遠之的盛會。從來沒有想過，我也會成為競跑的一份子。

去年3月，婚後一年的我為家裡添了個小寶貝，由於工作關係，小寶貝只好委托給家鄉的母親暫時挑起照顧的工作，而我和丈夫則留在都會裡繼續為生活打拼，每週再回家鄉與小寶貝及父母團聚。

生活看起來幸福美滿，然而，也許是荷爾蒙在體內作祟，產後的我心態卻逐漸改變，很容易便陷入低落，特別是在丈夫忙碌的日子，放工後回家對著四面牆，更是不懂得如何自處，在寂靜的空間裡，內心的焦慮日益擴張。

曾經試著通過追看連續劇來打發時間，通過劇情讓自己的腦袋停止胡思亂想，無奈劇情只停留在電視熒幕前，隨著戲劇的結束，回到安靜時思緒就怎麼都無法平靜。想好好地看書，腦袋卻不聽使喚，總不能集中精神走進黃金屋。而朋友也各有自己的生活，無法常常相伴。

跨出腳步，把心打開

心底很清楚，情況持續下去，不只毀了自己，更會讓這個家走向破裂。在同事的邀約下，我嚐試跨出腳步，把心打開，走入大自然，邁開腳步，到公園跑步去。

開始時，腳步沉重，不到半小時已汗流浹背且氣喘喘的停下，隔天更是全身酸痛，腦袋萌起放棄的念頭，可熱心的同事不停鼓勵，讓我不好意思一再拒絕，只好硬著頭皮繼續下去。

跑著跑著，慢慢感覺到跑步帶來的好處。它讓我身心放鬆，心情郁悶前去跑跑步更讓我在一步步地踏出去時，猶如把煩腦卸除，我得以以輕快的身心，朝終點邁進。

我漸漸愛上了跑步，更和同事一起報名，參加我人生中的第一場競跑，雖然只是短短的5公里，在完成的剎那還是很激動，為自己可以堅持跑到最後感到高興。

跑步逐漸成為我生活中不可或缺的活動，我決定繼續讓自己跑下去。而跑步讓我獲得的，又豈止是學習如何堅持而已。
