Is it just me or does the photo in the article have a time of 9:48? 9 hours,48 minutes. That race has to be a rarity since he's supposed to average 4hrs.

- AdamTReineke 16y agoI'd guess that's a HH:MM:SS display, and we're not seeing the whole thing.
- GertG 16y agoThat's supposed to be a picture of his last race, which he finished in 4h21m59sec according to this (Dutch) article: http://sport.be.msn.com/running/nl/nieuws/?Article_ID=492504 http://sport.be.msn.com/running/nl/nieuws/?Article_ID=492504
- dill_day 16y agoMaybe it's the time of day?
- ojbyrne 16y agoI assumed that was a pace time (9 minutes 48 seconds per mile).

- nhangen 16y agoIn some big races, they start in waves so that the clock is total time, but doesn't represent the runner's time. They use chips to log start and end time. i.e. He could've started 4 hours later than the first wave.
