Official times

I have gotten my official computer chip times for both recent races, and in both cases, was just barely behind the unofficial time I recorded with my watch. For Friday's 5K, I had recorded 29:12, and instead was actually 29:14 - clearly breaking my previous personal record of 29:29. I finished in 365th place out of 677 runners. And in my age group (50-54), I was 15th out of 19. For Sunday's 10K, the results were much less encouraging. I had recorded 1:11:07, and the official time was 1:11:08, for a pace of 11:27 per mile, bringing me in #7 out of 7 in my age group. I finished 180th overall - I'm not sure how large the field was, but in the results I saw at least someone having finished in 183rd place, so I know I wasn't dead last. But it's questionable how meaningful this time is, since I don't know precisely how far I ran.
