Three laps around the zoo which means 2nd and 3rd laps are full of people blocking the way. Too many twists and turns. I got told by a zoo official to go back to the start line when I was running over the course, checking it out. THAT NEVER HAPPENED TO ME IN OTHER RACES FROM THE PAST. Unbelievable. Also, a lot of people cheated in the race including 2 age group winners and 2 age group runner-ups as evidenced by their impossible lap splits because IAAP, the timing company (there had been a lot of cheating in their past races as well), didn’t monitor the critical points where anyone can simply cross over without completing the required loop. Check out these splits of 3 laps (the fastest possible by the race winner were (5:06.5, 5:18.7, 5:20.0):
Robinson, Randy 35 (12:52.0, 3:15.0, 4:37.2); Garcia,Bentley 319 (13:24.5, 16:43.2, 7:09.3); Robinson,William 36 (27:55.3, 23:48.6, 4:31.1); Nash,Robert 344 (23:00.0, 24:39.9, 3:15.6); Aldape, Lyssi 100 (1:01:21.6, 8:48.9, 3:33.0); Huberland, Lauren 14 (42:02.1, 3:04.4, 4:41.5); Fasenmyer, Diane 61 (21:59.1, 22:16.5, 3:41.7); Crowder, Tammy 89 (28:27.4, 23:19.5, 4:12.1); and Tullman, Jodi 33 (14:17.2, 15:09.1, 6:47.5). Therefore, I AM ABSOLUTELY NOT COMING BACK AGAIN.
Horrible Race.
