One of my runner's had 3.07 on their watch. Anyone know why the finishing clock was 10 seconds off (slower)? The published times are correct, but the clock did not indicate them as the runners came in?
using GPS measured by watches is inexact at best. in a course with lots of turns you can expect them to measure short most of the time as they square the corners. try running a 5K on a track and see what the watches come up with.
Even if its a bit short, Anderson's performance is amazing, 16 seconds faster than Blair(old record) is crazy good.
ReplyDeleteI don't think the course was short. Word is the course was just perfect and the conditions were just as perfect.
ReplyDeleteIt was a 3 mile course and the Weather was very nice Sunny for all the races and very little wind and no heat.
ReplyDeleteOne of my runners had 2.95 on his watch, the other had 2.99 (Go figure). Conditions and course were also absolutely perfect.
