About this Page
I was going to do this project about 4 years ago!
There were only a handful of coaches that ever sent me data, hence this
project is on "the back burner" until I finish my thesis. Sorry... if there
was overwhelming interest I might do some more work on it .... later ...peh

This system someday will fully automatically analyzse XC team data and
races. It will calculate course difficulty factors and use that info to
calculate performaces. It will maintain a database on courses , teams and
runners.... all automatically. Coaches will use PDA's like a Newton to
time and log XC-race data. Each runner will have a tiny "locater" transmitter
which will automatically time the runner as it crosses the finish line.
Additionally, the locater will display the location of all the runners
during the race on a "virtual" course displayed on the PDA. Hence, for
those "off in the woods" courses coaches and spectators will know the runners
postion at all times. After the race, the data will be automatically "sent"
to this web server, update the database, calculate performances, statistics,
and retransmit all the information to other coaches, league reps, ..etc
Top performances weekly will be transmitted to newspapers. ...... for an
additional service fee a remotely controlled small helicopter will video
the race and tranmit live pictures back to the start/finish..... copies
of the race will be available for $29.95.
The system is not quite finished,.... ........ but it is possible that
if you email me some team data I MIGHT do some analysis.
Plots
If so here are some of the plots you might get...
These gif plots have been converted from Foxpro for Windows Screen dumps.
If you would like to e-mail me your data.. here's
how.
