For instance, there is one guy who is 31 years old that I have been in 6 races with, and he has beaten me all 6 times. (He ran an 18:46 5k, so a bit out of my class).

On the other side, there are a few I am 2-0 vs as well.

(This only gives you the head to head matchup for others that have registered on that site though, not necessarily everyone you have raced against)

I remember looking a athlinks before and despite them stating they are the biggest race DB "on the planet", they don't seem to have anything in Canada, so heh...

All the races on my current circuit (Courir à Québec) are timed with sportstats.ca and when you click on the name of a runner, it brings a list of all the similar names in their database of race results. It's not perfect but with location, you can figure out who's who.

For the record, here's a link to the results for the 8K trail race:
http://www.sportstats.ca/displayResu...acecode=108416

In M40-49, Patrick Lemelin finished first, then Luc Desmeules second, then me, Steve Gougeon.

Then the results for the 10K Royal Descent race
http://www.sportstats.ca/displayResu...acecode=107318

In that one, Desmeules beat out Lemelin, both finishing ahead of me. I thought Desmeules had finished 13th in M40-49 but he finished 10th...

Then, here are the results for the staircase challenge 13K from last year:
http://www.sportstats.ca/displayResu...acecode=103684

Desmeules is the guy I said won out the division in a time of 1:10:54. Lemelin finished 7th in the division.

If you click on my name in any of these races, you come up to this page:
http://www.sportstats.ca/searchResul...stname=Gougeon

The one race from the guy from Blainville isn't me, obviously, but all others from Pintendre are all mine, starting with my 18K race last Fall.

As a comparison, here's Desmeules' runner page:
http://www.sportstats.ca/searchResul...name=Desmeules

Some of the results are from a Luce and a Lucie Desmeules but you can see he's been at it much longer than me, going back to the Royal Descent of 2005!

I'm still just a rookie next to these guys but I'm bringing the heat!
