Reply to "Another Lost Record"

A reader comment on this story in the Washington Post that I like:

"Race organizers have one job: give the runners an accurate distance. Nothing is more frustrating than running a great race and learning that the course was off, either short or long. Even non-professional athletes base so much of their life and training around the effort to shave seconds or minutes off of a time. To run your best and then discover the race length was off and there is no way to measure that time against yourself. It has been two generations since my PR's, but they still mean something to me as do those 16 minute 5k's that weren't."
