1. A method for determining when relay participant data is stored in a database in order to conserve memory space in the database, comprising:
entering a relay competition into an online server system, the relay competition including at least two relay legs, each leg having a predetermined distance that must be completed within a predetermined time window;
registering, with the online server, a team of participants in the relay competition, the registering including providing a unique participant identification for each participant;
logging a participant as completing a designated leg if the participant completed the predetermined distance within the predetermined time window, the logging including recording data into the database regarding a distance and time the participant completed the designated leg, otherwise not recording the participant's data in the database if either the predetermined distance was not completed, or the predetermined distance was not completed within the predetermined time window, the logging including uploading exercise data from a GPS-enabled device carried by the participant during exercise, the exercise data including a unique participant identifier; and
upon determining that the participant successfully completed the predetermined distance within the predetermined time window, notifying the next participant on a relay team that their time window has commenced to complete their predetermined distance.
