I went for a swim for the first time in a couple of weeks this morning. I was going to do intervals. But I wanted to make sure my distance swim was still together, so I did a mile in my usual time.
As I was leaving I looked at the big board to see what was up. I was a little shocked because the progress line goes from left to right, and there were a whole lot more people on the far right in the done area than I remember. So I checked the log book and it turns out the new people are all at zero and they were put there for what must be artistic reasons. So the results still stand, I came in third and Lori will very likely come in fourth. Mark, the guy behind Lori, is apparently away on a long business trip, which is why his numbers haven't moved since I finished.
While I was standing there the coordinator of the race approached me and we got to talking about it. I mentioned that I had come in third and she said that she was excited that people were looking at it as a race and were serious about finishing. Apparently they have had a lot of trouble getting people to finish. She is also looking for a way to honor the people that have finished to provide more incentive. Which gets me to wondering if there is some easy web-based option for putting up race results and racer bios.
