Are the guys from TRAC here? It would be great to know more about it. I ran in college, my brother ran in college, my sister hopes to as well. I have always been frustrated that I couldn't follow along with those trackers online. We always resorted to trying to give play-by-play over the phone which isn't the most elegant solution. Definitely an area you could have a lot of impact on. Especially with the rise in popularity of marathons and other races.
- dang 11y agoToday is YC W16 Demo Day (so, by the way, brace yourselves for an onslaught of YC/startup stories), so the founders are probably occupied, but we'll ping them.
- nbschulze 11y agoCool. Thank you!
- griffinkelly 11y agoSo the entire idea was first inspired by timing athletes at trac practices. our coach would spend hours timing with 5+ stopwatches in hand, write everything on a clipboard, then type it into excel. He then would print it all out and give us a binder of numbers at the end of the year. We wanted to design a system that would be awesome for repeats on the track/xc course, and its slowly progressed into timing races.
- nbschulze 11y agoThat's awesome. All our splits were written down with pencil in our logs so I definitely felt that pain. I can definitely see a lot of places you could take it. Hope it all goes well!
