Three of them used only <strong>TSPortable systems<\/strong>, which consist of an RFID reader and a mobile phone weighing less than 600 grams in total.<\/p>\n<p>In this race, <strong>volunteers were in charge of timing some of the intermediate points<\/strong> using the <a href=\"https:\/\/timingsense.com\/en\/tsportable-description\/?internal_campaign=ENblog-link\">TSPortable system<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Another of the difficulties of this race (and of a large part of mountain races) was the<strong> lack of coverage<\/strong>, both because of the location of the points and because of the number of people joining the race support the runners. We are used to intermediate point readouts reaching the finish line in real time via TSCloud, but this is only possible when there is internet connection.<\/p>\n<p>In the case of the <strong>Zegama Aizkorri<\/strong>, the readouts of some points, such as Aizkorri, were communicated in real time. In others with coverage problems TSPortable stored the readings in the phone and they were automatically sent to the finish line as soon as coverage was restored. <strong>The portable systems ran smoothly at every intermediate point.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>See you next year, Zegama Aizkorri!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9503\" src=\"https:\/\/timingsense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/33642841_772120192991920_5925897542297452544_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/timingsense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/33642841_772120192991920_5925897542297452544_n.jpg 960w, https:\/\/timingsense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/33642841_772120192991920_5925897542297452544_n-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/timingsense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/33642841_772120192991920_5925897542297452544_n-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/p>\n<div\n    class=\"pld-like-dislike-wrap pld-custom\">\n    <div class=\"pld-like-wrap  pld-common-wrap\">\n    <a href=\"javascript:void(0)\"\n       class=\"pld-like-trigger pld-like-dislike-trigger \"\n       title=\"Me gusta\"\n       data-post-id=\"9585\"\n       data-trigger-type=\"like\"\n       data-restriction=\"cookie\"\n       data-already-liked=\"0\">\n                               <img src=\"https:\/\/timingsense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/pulgares-hacia-arriba.png\" alt=\"Me gusta\"\/>\n                        <\/a>\n    <span class=\"pld-like-count-wrap pld-count-wrap\">    <\/span>\n<\/div><div class=\"pld-dislike-wrap  pld-common-wrap\">\n    <a href=\"javascript:void(0)\"\n       class=\"pld-dislike-trigger pld-like-dislike-trigger \"\n       title=\"No me gusta\"\n       data-post-id=\"9585\"\n       data-trigger-type=\"dislike\"\n       data-restriction=\"cookie\"\n       data-already-liked=\"0\">\n                               <img src=\"https:\/\/timingsense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/disgusto.png\" alt=\"No me gusta\"\/>\n                        <\/a>\n    <span class=\"pld-dislike-count-wrap pld-count-wrap\"><\/span>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Imagine a marathon that includes four of the highest peaks in the Basque Country.
