Historical, not Hysterical

Today:
Distance:  Garmin said - 11.7 km
Time:  63' 42"
Rate: 5' 27" per km
Weather: sunny, temp 19 degrees, humidity 30%, wind calm
Week:  20.8 km, July:  114.7 km,  Year:  1345.95 km

Ran 23 laps of the Caboolture Historical Village with Race Director Geoff Williams, a chance to chat about recent happenings both running & travelling events.
After reading the reports on Trevor Jacobs's Facebook page about his remarkable swim & how his GPS measured where he went, I doubt the accuracy of anything Garmin now produce.
Geoff has measured the track here to perfection to qualify the track for the Australian 48 hour championships, and the Qld 24 hour champs.
Somehow, running inside line of the track, the Garmin has measured an extra 200 metres over the 23 laps, some error rate. That would make any record set subject to challenge. Martin Fryer is attempting to break a world record for 48 hours in his age group. I hope he doesn't have to run too much further to get close.
It all starts on Friday morning at 9 am.
