I thought about the auto pause the day after the race also. Esentially when the pace drops below 20 minute miles the stopwatch pauses. hence when the GPS stopped receiving in the tunnel the stopwatch also paused for the duration.Grellanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07132757537248747078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9214414108660001486.post-29633395238559617822008-06-08T01:09:00.000+01:002008-06-08T01:09:00.000+01:00Nice report and congrats on the BQ!

I thought your splits were excellent and I would attribute your positive split 2nd half as a more difficult part of the course. Honestly, such a great majority of runners will positive split the 2nd half of races because it comes after 13.1 miles. So I guess the most important question is... When are you going to sign up for Boston??<BR/><BR/>Congrats again!Bill Carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17303668807091595615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9214414108660001486.post-29329891606965386852008-06-05T13:54:00.000+01:002008-06-05T13:54:00.000+01:00Great race report!

That must have made your day alone.
