Post Event Comments:
There were an unusual (4) instances of DNS (did not start), so owing to a slight suspicion of a start box not registering punches, by agreement with the controller, we have credited the affected runners with a start time based on their check time (+30 seconds). There is however no indication from either of the start boxes of partial punches. Analysis of the range of times between check and start varied between 5 seconds and 3 minutes (with vast majority taking > 30 seconds). Looking at the results, I am pretty confident that no-one has unfairly lost a position out due to the adjustment.
