A great article! However, it states that "The correction factor that is added to a 5km is 16.4 feet (5 meters)". While this is true, it is also interpreted to mean that a 5k course is 5,005 meters long. That is NOT true.

Wobble shortens the course from the 5,005 meter "perfect" ride. We should never claim that a course is 1/10% long. The SCPF keeps it from being too short, if ridden properly, but does not guarantee a 42,237 meter marathon course. Be careful how the SCPF is presented.
