Buy? Apparently any old, unimportant, random jogger can get video from them for free.

Yes - I've been given fair warning. At my next striders run I'll be sure to watch for the video cameras and try to avoid them, or else I won't be able to make up a good story about what a strong finish I had. Seriously the striders do an awesome job. Some people may not recognize the sarcastic font I use sometimes on these posts. It looks a lot like regular font.

Casa did you figure out how far we ran? I'm gonna wright 19.5 in my log and edit later... MTA: Actually I wrote 19.3 in my log...because 19.5 made it a 7:57 pace. 8:02 sounds closer.

Not sure. The Beechwood to Portland backtracking would be just at .92 miles. HOWEVER, when I look at Trent's map that he originally provided in this thread, I think we ran the wrong roads more than just in that spot. So, it's a clusterfuck. Guess one of us should have worn a Garmin. MTA: I also ran from Athlete's House to the church and back with JK (who was flying and looking strong at that stage), so it's all messed up. I logged it as 19 miles total, but whatever. I don't think an 8:02 was our overall on this day. We did that on our 16-miler last winter, but that was LP field to Shelby, which is flat!

Well, there goes your training.

Exactly. I was so pissed off that I stopped at Shebly Park on the way home. I had a horse shit breakfast and a undetermined mileage long run. Might as well make a pit stop.

Yea, your potatoes looked like pineapples. The new guy took a bite of them when you went to the bathroom.

I think i'm going to change it to 19.2 as well. That seems reasonable.

Yeah, but I ran more than you. Take a look at the map of the course......which I basically copied from the one that Trent originally posted in this message. Can you figure out where we went wrong, etc.? By the way, you are still a helluva runner....haven't missed a beat with your tri traiing and extra-curricular b.s., so don't tweak a bit. for real. I hate paying you a compliment.

Can you figure out where we went wrong, etc.?

I can see exactly where we went wrong. I'm gonna re-map it and then i'll let you know.

So, fellow training race participants........... Would you deem this as a hilly training run course? for real.
