Samantha's age was given as 29 in the race results for the 8K. But the PCP member spreadsheet shows her birthdate to be 8/10/85. The results (race and GP) have been corrected.
Grand Prix results are now calculated by computer program. That program reads the race results from the webpage and looks up runners in the member list. The program is able to guess that Sam Gardner, age 27, in the race results is likely to be Samantha Gardner, birthdate 8/10/85, in the member list, but it has not been given enough smarts to guess that Samantha Gardner, age 29, in the race results is likely to be Samantha Gardner, birthdate 8/10/85, in the member list.
The PCP data system is not state of the art. We pay a price for that little by little. But to make the system first class would require a big price all at once.
