Like most things that work well we take the electronic timing, that was first sponsored by Manx Telecom in 2007, for granted, It was ground breaking at the time - even the London Marathon abandoned their plans to text split times to followers.
Apart from the benefits for followers, families and the media on race day, it is great for me as a source of data.
For example, who knew that Michael George was the fastest ever between Maughold and Lonan churches?
Worth celebrating if only his friends could spell his name correctly.
