Each our intermediate results are available along the lap for team managers, so at this time the results after two ours are multiplied on paper and will be put on the tables. It is this that gave confusion. Not everybody could find the table (they have 22 hours left for searching), and some wondered that people in Australia have already access to the results after 1:15’ while team managers did not have the state of the run after 1 hour. The solution is of course to go mobile on line as a team manager, and this will probably be the case within a few years. For the moment, the first links of the communication chain are operational: a well co-operating Championship registration, our link to the UltraNED server (and others who have a hyperlink to this site); so the only missing link is the mobile connection to internet by team managers.
We also received our first e-mail; it was in Dutch for the Dutch team member Rut Zoutman. Our announcer did communicate it. English, German and probably French will not be a big problem for him.
If you have an e-mail message to an athlete send it to a.smeets@trouwweb.nl ; your athlete will enjoy it. And, stay awake tonight, we will do also 🙂
