splits

Here's the official splits off the race website. They list the places too, though I'm not sure how accurate they are since I passed a lot more people than passed me over the final 10K. There were a lot of things screwed up with this race, I wouldn't be surprised if these times and places were off as well.

3 miles - 21:30 / 145th place
10 miles - 1:11:27 / 125th place
13.1 miles - 1:33:33 / 85th place
20 miles - 2:20:18 / 43rd place
26.2 miles - 3:04:10 / 52nd place

That same site lists me as 69th place overall but has my "marathon finishing rank" as #52? Maybe I crossed the line as #52 but 17 folks got ahead of me based on their chip time? Who knows. All I care about is that I got my BQ!

Still a decent negative split. 1:33:33 for the first half, 1:30:37 for the second half (despite two beer checks over the last 10K!).

No, it means you ran the 52nd fastest time from mile 20-26.2 compared to everyone else. Nothin to do with your overall rank. Some dude that ran a 40 he marathon may have the 51st fastest 20-26.2 time.

40 he = 4hour
Ooops

Ah, that makes a little more sense.

I forgot to ask, how could you let three chicks beat you?
