In addition to Caddell Designs, we are also partners in Blitz Events, a race management and timing company operated by Christine and her business partner Tricia Kawahara. 

In addition to hosting the Blitz Snowshoe Fun Run, Blitz Duathlon and The Red Deer Oktoberfest Half Marathon, Blitz Events also provides race timing for other events such as the MEC Calgary Race Series.  Thus a slick mobile-friendly race results platform was needed. 

Christine wanted something light and fast that would load quickly on participant's phones in real-time which meant it would need to integrate with Racetec, their existing scoring software.
The Solution: 
The front-end is built with Angular 1 which parses simple text files containing race result data that is uploaded via FTP automatically via Racetec.

​The first iteration we noticed some lag issues and spent time tuning the app for performance. Here are some of the tricks we used for optimizing:
  • One way binding
  • Infinite scrolling
  • Lowering watches where possible

This is a pet project started long ago as part of a 'create an online business' phase. My husband is passionate about motorcross riding and fitness, so we teamed up with our personal trainer cousins Tricia and Miki Kawahara to put together some training programs and sell them online.

How successful has it been? There's been a few sales, but we're obviously not living on an island that we bought with our millions of dollars of revenue. Motocross fitness is a niche market, but also full-time jobs and two children under 5 put this project on the side burner for the last few years.

Of course Kevin (the developer in our duo), has been tinkering on Phase II of this web application for some time, implementing a new interface and all the latest greatest mobile friendly UI elements. Recently I've gotten involved to 'get the new site live already!' and we've been having some really good discussions about what is the MVP (minimum viable product).

So really this post is to motivate both of us to get Phase II live so we can update this post with new screenshots. :D
