Odometer 1: 224.5mi
Z3-Z4.
Like any other race on this fucking compound, the race distance is wrong. I was disappointed – but not very surprised. I have no idea what the fuck the race director decided to use as a measuring device but I suspect it was a vehicle with a very inaccurate odometer. I don’t think it’s an overstatement when I describe the race administration in some ways as “like a can of spilled fuck.” (thank you, Division G3!) I realized something was wrong as I was hitting mile stops and I was supposedly running 10-minute miles, which I’m pretty sure wasn’t the case.
The splits I took were so fucking inconsistent that they were just about worthless. 4:24:00 for 28.8 miles, though, was about a 9:10 mile. For running 2.6 miles more than I intended to, I think that’s not so bad. I’m not sure if I’d have made my goal of a 4-hour marathon, but I guess if I hadn’t had to take a dump near the end of the first turnaround.
Like a can of spilled fuck. Sigh.
