Carl,

Excellent timing! I’ll be visiting the track clubs at Clermont and Disney next week and this is good to know.

Regarding a 3 hurdle zone, does the number 3 refer to the number of missing hurdles or the number of hurdle lengths between the remaining hurdles?

To measure the timing, what is a recommended number of transmitters (or photo beams), and where are they placed? For example, if 2 hurdles are removed, how many transmitters are placed between the remaining hurdles? Same question if 3 hurdles are removed. Does it simplify the setup and data analysis if the transmitters are left in the same positions as though none of the hurdles were removed?

Best,
Christopher

I’ve never worked with hurdlers but it’s great to see a level of ability assigned to a particular drill.
