Recording times
Most events will take care of that for you. And usually it looks like this.
Swim time
t1 time
bike time
t2 time
run time
overall time
they'll be mats out of the swim and in and out of the bike and run to clock your transition times. a chip on your ankle wil set it the times.
Courses are very rarely the correct distance. Even this weekend the ITU World Cup was about a minute short on the run, and swims are most likely of the three disciplines to be incorrect. Because of this, there's really no point to having an exactly standard way of timing splits.

Thanks - I'm currently living in Israel so I record my own times as I don't read Hebrew and sometimes it is a little difficult to find out my times. I seems like with the races here there is some distance between water and T1 so I didn't know when to hit the split button.
If you do your own splits as I do, ( in addition to the timing mats ), I use the entry and exits of the Transition Areas...

I have never seen any posts on recording times during the various parts of a triathlon. Specifically, is there any standardization on timing. For exampe, on the swim should I stop my clock as I leave the water and run to T1 or does the swim time continue until I enter into the T1 area?
