My "alleged" overall pace dropped by like 11 seconds because of the discrepancy. GAH. But anyway, congrats on making it happen despite some "technical difficulties" on the part of the race.

So, I'll leave it alone.<br /><br />I seem to run HORRIBLE tangents and therefore have to pay very close attention to the mile markers for most races. I rarely 100% trust my garmin during races to predict the finish. Only in shorter races can I be certain that 3.1 / 6.2 will actually be the end.The Boring Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13073380265420100975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26945556.post-38767417545512840142009-10-01T13:07:20.061-04:002009-10-01T13:07:20.061-04:00Great race to both of you, but that kid needs to w...Great race to both of you, but that kid needs to work on the mental side of his game.
