QOTD: I’ve always let the watch do it, but doing it manually is something I need to consider!
I ran the Mnts to Main St half in Greenville SC about 10 days ago, was shooting for a PR, but according to my Garmin, the course was .25 miles long and my time was about 2 min more than expected. If I had been paying attention to their mile markers, I would have pushed accordingly to hit that time goal. (Yes, I know it’s impossible to run a perfect 13.1, hitting all the tangents, but this was 80% a straight course down a paved trail. .25 miles is excessive. I was not the only person questioning the distance.)
