18 RACE TIMING PAGE16 OSIM Sundown Marathon Penang 2016 will be adopting My Laps Timing Chip to record your times electronically. Runners participating in all race categories except the 5KM Fun Run will have a Timing Chip attached to the back of your race bib. HOW DO I USE MY TIMING CHIP? The Timing Chip is a disposable one-time race timing tag which is attached to the back of your race bib. WHAT DO I DO WITH THE TIMING CHIP AFTER THE RUN? You do not need to return the Timing Chip and can dispose it after completing the race. WHAT HAPPENS IF THE TIMING CHIP GETS WET? The Timing Chip is completely weatherproof and will work regardless of rain, heat, storms, humidity or other inclement conditions. HOW DO I MAKE SURE THAT MY TIMING CHIP WORKS? Each Timing Chip is checked and verified for functionality before it is distributed to each participant. The Timing Chip is always on standby and will not need to be activated. It will be effective when placed within 1metre of the timing mats located at the start, finish and split points on the race course.

19 RACE TIMING PAGE17 WHAT SHOUD I NOT DO WITH THE TIMING CHIP? Do not bend, perforate or remove the Timing Chip from the race bib. Any unauthorised alternations and amendments to your race bib and/or the Timing Chip will result in disqualification. WHAT IS A TIMING CHIPTIME AND HOW IS IT DIFFERENT FROM GUN TIME? Chip time is recorded by the electronic Timing Chip that is attached to the back of your race bib. Your Timing Chip records the time at which you cross the 2 layers of timing mats at the start line, finish line and at the several split points in between. Chip time is often shorter than gun time because it begins only when a runner crosses the start line, while gun time begins once the start gun is fired; many runners don t cross the start line until several minutes after their official gun time has begun. HOW ACCURATE IS TIMING CHIP TIME? Chip time is the most accurate form of run timing available because it measures the exact time between a runner crossing the start line and finish line. Chip time also records several important splits, providing an accurate record of each runner s progress and pace.

21 PHYSICAL ACTIVITY READINESS QUESTIONNAIRE (PAR-Q) PAGE19 The Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q) is designed to help you assess your level of readiness for physical activity. It s a simple test that only requires a few minutes of your time to complete. If you are planning to become more physically active than you are now, start by answering the seven questions in the box below. If your age range falls between 15 to 69 years, the PAR-Q will be an indication if you should check with your doctor before you start. If you are over 69 years of age and are not used to being very active, please check with your doctor before proceeding. ARE YOU SPORTS SAFE? Common sense is your best guide when answering these questions. Please read them carefully and answer each one honestly YES NO 1. Has your doctor ever said that you have a heart condition and that you should only do physical activity recommended by a doctor? 2. Do you feel pain in your chest when you do physical activity? 3. In the past month, have you had chest pain when you were not doing physical activity? 4. Do you lose your balance because of dizziness or do you ever lose consciousness? 5. Do you have a bone or joint problem (for example, back, knee or hip) that could be made worse by a change in your physical activity? 6. Is your doctor currently prescribing drugs (for example, water pills) for your blood pressure or heart condition? 7. Do you know of any other reason why you should not do physical activity? If you answered YES to one or more questions, talk to your doctor before you start becoming more physically active or before a fitness appraisal. If you answered NO honestly to all questions, you can be reasonably sure that you can start becoming more physically active gradually. This is the safest and easiest way to go.
