Funnily enough, the SI units weren't synchronised at the very first Loughboro Uni event in 2009...

Re: British Sprints
A little worrying that something that can have an effect on the result of a British championship was missed after being raised (at least) twice. Maybe we asked the wrong person? I fully understand that a lot of stuff was going on for those involved but at the very centre of all the decoration is a cake.
excellent event though and cracking courses, especially in the afternoon where those (like me) who are more proficient at running than navigating had their morning results put into perspective!

I was on the Finish at the Sprints and not withstanding the comments about the RH box, I dealt with queries on the day concerning the LH box which competitors said wasn't registering. However when the next few finishers passed through they were recognised ok.
It didn't help however with the loud speakers being so close to the finish and it was very difficult to hear anything never mind the beep from the SI box.

Then I would have definitely not made the B final.
