Mine too!
That's the first race I have ever done where they had chip timing without a mat at the start line. I asked the guy at the start how it worked and he told me that they guy at the finish would hear the starter horn over a walkie talkie and start the clock at the same time, so the chip times were in fact gun times! Makes you wonder why they would bother with chips, I know there was <300 entrants but I just don't understand why you would bother with chips and then not really get chip times.
Still doesn't explain the extra 5 or 6 seconds on the spreadsheet though, my watch was exactly the same as the clock on the finish line when I crossed. Curiouser and curiouser!

Well the whole idea of the chip time is you will have a time credit to your name, otherwise it be pretty hard to keep track of all finishers times.
The 6 seconds probably come from the time it took you to cross the start line.
From what i read, this seems to be a poor race and glad i gave it a miss now at the last minute!!0 -

I checked the race clock when I crossed the line and it was the same time as my watch, but the excel sheet had an additional 5 seconds!0 -
