Can someone further explain why you guys, who think this WOs are hugely important, accept that in this day and age?

Any two bit 3k, 5k 10k, half marathon run any weekend can record times to the hundredth of a second amid the chaos of the thousands of runners all starting at different times... and have them posted on the internet almost before you have time to get your breath back.

The technology exists, and has existed for a long time, and it's cheap..
Yeah...but the horse racing industry is even cheaper.
