On trails we run many strange (non standard) distances. I've done 13.4, 11.7, 36.6, 78.5, 92, 153, and many other kilometer distances...all on trail. On the road the weirdest was an 11km race.Johannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17588120934444485158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592755595247951740.post-70235121231473353682012-04-25T07:28:24.101-04:002012-04-25T07:28:24.101-04:00Last Memorial Day we ran across the Mackinac Bridg...Last Memorial Day we ran across the Mackinac Bridge then through a little bit of the town. They listed it as a 5.6 mile run, but I had 5.06 on my Garmin. They made it look like I ran a much faster pace than I really did! I thought that was a good one, where it was more about the experience and where we ran. No need to add an extra mile through the town just to say it's a 10K - it was cool enough just running across the bridge.Janethttp://www.twitter.com/reidphotographynoreply@blogger.com
