Results Note also the local results database provided (free!) by the gracious folks at edhat: www.edhat.com/races In addition, Paul Williams has been corralling all the results he can find: www.sbtiming.com The table above displays the races in finishing order. There are several forms below which allow you to specify some other options for how you want these data displayed. Sort RacesThis form allows you to reorder a race based on various criteria: Time, Age Graded Percentage, and GP Division. You may also specify that you only want to see the women's race, or only the men's. The next form is essentially the same as the first, however it is for Lompoc races (currently I only have data for the half marathon) Graph racesThe human brain is better at dealing with images than with lists of names and times, so this form will produce little graphs for you, so you can get a rough idea of the time distribution of the race or the age-graded distribution. You can view the race as a whole, or just the women's race, or just the runners in one of the GP divisions. The horizontal axis of the graph gives finishing time (or age graded percentage) while the vertical axis shows the number of runners who ran that fast (or that hard). The 5Ks and 10Ks will (probably) provide 1 minute intervals, longer races may use 2 or 3 or 4 minutes (whatever will make the graph fit). RunnersThis form allows you to see all the races a given runner has run (in our database, that is). Normally they are ordered by distance (shorter races earlier) and then by time, but you can also have them sorted chronologically, or show only the fastest race for each distance, or the race with the best age-grade, or all the 10Ks or... Sometimes your name gets misspelled... Sometimes you want to know who ran faster than you in your division... Sometimes you want to compare yourself to one specific runner... Grand Prix Division InformationThis last form allows you to see who ran the fastest few races for each distance in a given Grand Prix division. Now frequently one runner will run all the fastest races, and that's boring to look at (unless you are that person) so you can also see the fastest runners in the division.How fast can I run a 5K if I can run a 10K at ...?The perenial question we all want to know... If I ran this race at this speed, then how fast should I expect/try to run this other race. There is no perfect answer because everyone's body responds differently, but the age graded tables provide some hints of what might be. If you can run at 70% in a 10K, then you can probably run close to 70% in a 5K or a 15K. Probably.Guestimate And it can also be handy to convert between a pace per mile (or kilometer) and a time for a given distance: Time/Pace conversion Where did people come from?List the cities from which people came forHours of fun!
