Definition

Elapsed race time measured from an athlete’s individual crossing of the start timing line to the finish line. Its practical meaning depends on the athlete, event, measurement method or training context, so it should not be interpreted as an isolated universal rule.

Practical use

Follow the current organizer and governing-body rules; timing, start and briefing procedures can vary by event.
