    What's been your experience with ultra signup's predicted finish times?

     

    I've beaten it a couple of times this Fall but wonder if I'm running better or the fast folks did not show up? I can't compare my paces since they were mountainous trails and all I'd done before was LBL.

     

    I suspect that it's harder to beat it at large races.

      Ultrasignup doesn't think very highly of me. They thought I would be 6-7 hours slower at my last 100. They predicted a woman who had never run more than 50k would be the winner.
