Ok so I ran pairs marathon on Sunday and found out for some reason my bib/chip never worked, they are working on recording a time for me but it may just be from the race start time till I crossed the line. Or they might take my garmin time.
Anyway I was just wondering what normally happens when your time isn't recorded? The race was quite dear and I know these things happen but I'm really disappointed I didn't get an official time as such or photos(yet). Should I complain? or is it just a case of tough luck move on?

It sounds as though your organisers are working to resolve issues so you just need to be patient.
Yeah its not good and I'm sure you where gutted with it being a PB. I have to say they do seem to be good and sorting it out and I've given them loads of information, so it will either be race (wave) start time till I crossed the line or maybe they will take my garmin.
It was my 30th marathon I think I would have been gutted if it was my 1st or even if I ran a PB
It'll probably never happen again.
@cougie they said it happened to a few, not sure how many, I guess out of 55000 chips you may get the odd bad one but as you said first I've heard of it happening.
Thought they would have at least offered something as a good will jester even 10% off next year lol but just glad it wasn't my first or a PB
