What you should have done (I am sure you are happy to hear this now) is
leave it alone during the contest. Then at the completion of the contest
you can run the program CT_TIME to apply a fixed offset to the time. Now
that you have both the wrong time and the correct time in parts of the log
you have more of a problem. The only thing I can think of is to run B2R9 to
convert the binary into ascii. Then edit the ascii file to correct all the
times and then convert back to binary using R2B9. You can find both these
files on the CT web page.
The time problems are getting to be a real pain!
