Women's division 2: results found! | ||
by BJ - Tue 27th Feb 2007, 5:52pm | ||
Sorry about the non-instant nature of today's instant results. The long explanation is that the battery in the repeater wasn't of a sufficiently high voltage, so results couldn't be radioed in to the control desk. Umpires then seemed to be unclear about who they should be giving results to, and they were having to be pieced together from multiple sources. The short explanation is that I'm sure everything will be as smooth as you like when Martin's back on the case tomorrow! | ||

And I should apologise for the bumpit results not turning up until the end of the day. We forgot to test that bit... and at present I can't even remember how it is supposed to work...! D'oh. Anyway, some midnight oil tonight and it should be ok for tomorrow. | ||

Sorry about all the above useless messages. It's working now! :-) Interesting to note that it seems to take about about 10 seconds between sending the results SMS and the site fully updating itself. | ||

I have some pleasure in reporting that the head wind on the reach is approx 25 to 30 mph. A few white horses down here. W3 didn\'t like it much though! | ||

Comedy moment of the day so far, when the bow girl of Clare 2 defended her ears from the cannon... actually on the start! | ||

First men have bumped. | ||

Wind today is gusting a bit, but not quite as strong and has changed direction - kind of blowing across the whole course rather than upstream. | ||
