Which one do you go by, chip time or gun time? I just found my latest race results online and if I go by my chip time then I PR'd by over a minute?

    Not being a runner, I had no idea what you meant. I thought you meant that you were gonna shoot yourself if you didn't get some chips! I was worried! Ok... enough of my idiocy... carry on.

    The whole point of using chips is to give you your "true" time without penalizing you for any delay in reaching the start line because of the crowd.

    Definitely go w/the chip.

    I was thinking along the same lines. I thought snacks or going to the range.
    but chip would be the best because it starts and ends at the lines.

    Thanks everyone, but I was mistaken on my PR. I still got a new PR, but it was only about 11 seconds, don't know what I was thinking! Thanks for all the input!
