Littrell first argues that his right to a fast and speedy trial was violated because his trial date was set for 112 days after the ninety-date extension was granted. Littrell argues that because the “State’s motion for continuance was made before the seventy (70) days expired under Criminal Rule 4(B), the State’s extension of ninety (90) days began to accrue when the trial court granted State’s motion for continuance and not when the seventy (70) days expired.” Appellant’s Br. p. 7. He adds that if the rule is found to be ambiguous, it must be construed in favor of Littrell. Id.
At the outset, we note that Littrell has waived his claim regarding the calculation of the ninety-day extension period because this specific issue was not raised at trial. In the present appeal, Littrell claims that the extension was calculated from the wrong starting date, but he did not object to the trial court’s calculation of the ninety-day extension when the trial court chose December 3, 2013 as the date for trial. Tr. p. 9-13.
Waiver notwithstanding, we conclude that the trial court properly calculated the ninety-day extension when it concluded that the ninety days attached to the original seventy-day time period. As a result, Littrell’s right to a fast and speedy trial was not violated because the trial was set within the ninety-day extension.

Here, Littrell filed a motion requesting a speedy trial within seventy days. The State then sought an extension due to the drug laboratory’s inability to provide an analysis of Littrell’s blood sample within the seventy-day period. Appellant’s App. p. 20-22. Criminal Rule 4(D) allows for a ninety-day extension where evidence is unavailable:
If when application is made for discharge of a defendant under this rule, the court be satisfied that there is evidence for the state, which cannot then be had, that reasonable effort has been made to procure the same and there is just ground to believe that such evidence can be had within ninety (90) days, the cause may be continued, and the prisoner remanded or admitted to bail; and if he be not brought to trial by the state within such additional ninety (90) days, he shall then be discharged.
The question posed to us here is whether the ninety-day extension begins on the date it is granted or at the expiration of the original seventy-day time period. Criminal Rule 4(D) provides that the date for trial can be extended an “additional ninety (90) days.” The inclusion of the word “additional” clearly indicates that the ninety days are to be granted in addition to the original seventy days, allowing for a total of 160 days to schedule the trial date. We do not find this language to be ambiguous. Because Littrell’s trial was conducted 152 days after Littrell’s motion for a speedy trial, we conclude that his right to a speedy trial was not violated.
