SplitTimer - It's customary to have volunteers with stopwatches at various mile markers in a longer race (10K, Marathon, etc.) calling out "splits" so that racers will know how they're doing. The problem is, the time is probably the least interesting statistic to the oxygen-deprived racer. The really interesting numbers are the pace (e.g., minutes/mile) and the projected finish time at the current pace. Marathon runners especially are often hoping for a particular time goal like a Boston qualifying time or a sub-4:00 race, so knowing their current projected finish time is valuable information. That's where SplitTimer comes in, since, as you can see in the example at left, it displays all this information in large, easily readable numbers. It might seen like overkill to replace a $30 stopwatch with a $175 Palm, but if just a few more racers return the next year because they like the way you run your race, it will pay for itself. Besides, this software (like all our software) runs on all the Palm models, even the original Pilot 1000. So the cost is less than you might think. SplitTimer can also be used by track coaches when coaching their runners, and similar situations. To learn more about SplitTimer, you can download a copy of SplitTimer, which is fully functional with one subtle limitation-when you start the timer, the time will start with a randomly chosen time, instead of at zero (once you license the software, you receive a serial number which removes this limitation).
