    Tracking might be truly estimated distance. Else they need to put GPS chip on everyone like James Bond stuff :)

    Women's race is crazy...22 miles in, someone makes up 37 seconds to take the lead! She's now ~25m ahead!

    Guessing it's based on the 5k splits they have going....maybe a chip reader every 5k and then estimates in between?

    No doubt! I wish I could get an HM in that time, let alone a split.

    ha ha I'm sitting here watching the awards and thinking how excited I get when I finish top 3 in my AG in a race with 300 people, I can't even begin to imagine how they feel. Wow just wow!

    Real newbie runner (and exercise hater!) here, so I would like to aim for 15km for the rest of April.

    @elise4270 and @karllundy thanks, adopting Skip was the smartest move I have ever made :smiley:

    What time was MobyCarp hoping for? I don't remember.

    Looking at the stats of the 2015 Boston, The winners run fulls a half hour faster than my goal for a half. Awesome

    The first time I ran a HM faster than an elite man can run a full marathon, it was a big deal, lol!
