But Rosie ran before they had designated "elites" at races. That's probably one of the reasons why the elites get their own start corral/wave. So they don't have to monitor thousands of people. I wasn't saying that chip timing prevents cheating. Rather, I meant that creating an elite corral/wave does.
Chip timing actually allows non-elites to compete against elites, just like our Arien did. I don't think chip timing solves any of the problems; I was just commenting on Hank's post that the non-elites "lose 10 seconds" because a later start. They don't.
I
think all of the time points are open and obvious (and labeled as such).
