Technically, nobody has really asked these questions, given that we are brand new. But if you did ask questions, these are the questions we imagine you'd ask.
Not a big deal. We use the goal times to calculate when you'll arrive at each aid station. This helps your crew know when they should expect you. We'd recommend figuring out your "fast" and "slow" times, otherwise you might risk rolling into a crew-less aid station, which would be sad.
Yes! Just click on the "Crew Links" button near the top of your Pacer plan. You'll have the option to input each person on your crew and generate a crew link for them to use to see your plan.
No, at this point your crew cannot edit your plan. If you want that to be a thing, let us know and we'll try to build it when we can. Which might not be for a while because we're a small team.
Your inventory is currently under "Settings."
Yes! Once you've opened your plan, it's saved on your device — aid stations, ETAs, packing list and all. Check-ins you make without signal sync back up as soon as you find service again.
Because the apps we're building are lil — and because sometimes we, as runners, identify as lil, too.
Not yet. It's on our to-do list, we promise.
Also no. We're working on it.
Also no. Is that a thing that you want? If so, let us know and we'll consider.
We have one (1) engineer. No.
No. Right now, you just have the ability to view your race report. Clearly we have our work cut out for us.
Absolutely not.
Once you start a race in Pacer, you have the option to "finish" or "DNF." If you hit DNF, we'll send you a high five, hug, or vat of electrolytes in our minds and our hearts (we can't do that in real life for legal and financial reasons).
Nah. We're not sure what would happen if everyone started planning hundreds of races at a time, but we'll cross that bridge if we get to it. Also, maybe don't do hundreds of races. That sounds physically damaging.
Yes! Some alternative ways to use Pacer include:
We haven't tried this (yet), but we think you could probably use it to time out snack and bathroom breaks while marathoning The Lord of the Rings movies (extended edition).
