A thought about PBs

A question of gun time or net time

I was thinking about whether I should be using my gun times or net times (using timing chips) to track my personal bests (PBs). I recently started to list my PBs as my gun times because I thought it was the 'correct' thing to do. After thinking a bit about it, I am going to switch back to my net times because that is the time I ran the course in. If I ever make a seeded start, maybe I'll reconsider! I guess it's a personal thing. If someone asks me for a qualifying time, I'll happily use gun time if required but from now on I'm going back to net time for my PBs. I look it as putting the 'personal' back into 'personal best'.

Therefore, sub-42mins for Sutho2Surf... woohoo!
