Most all races are run on Sunday mornings here. They try to have them start so that they are done around 9:00. The length of the race determines the start time. At 9:00 this morning it was 84 degrees. That is why they do this. But, a 9:00 finish makes getting ready for church a bit of a challenge. At least I live just 15 minutes from church. Used to it was just over 30 minutes away. I have yet to be in a race that has been accurate. The closest 2 have been 1/4 of a Km. off. One long and one short. One 5K was only 3.3 Km. I assume the marathon they recently ran was accurate. There were runners from all over the country and, of course, Kenya. Today was my first race to run with Km. markers. That was nice, but I knew they were not accurate. My splits were between 4:18 and 6:44 per Km. Something tells me they were not quite right. Yes, it was busy.

Excellent run. I wonder who measured the course (almost 1km short). It sounds like you had a busy morning! Excellent run. I wonder who measured the course (almost 1km short).
