Wilhelm,
Pete is right. That blue line you could see in the TV pictures was a lot further out from the line me measured on the bends. The runners of course dont have to run exactly along the blue line - it just guides them in the general direction of the next corner. they need to run closer to the kerb to run the minimum distance.

Not sure what David itends to do about publishing his report after sending it to the IAAF. My own analysis of the 3 measurer's rides could be readily made available to interested measurers, but I think I should get David's OK first. He was the official measurer, I was just a hanger on.

Overall the whole measurment was excellently organised and we got excellent agreement between our rides. It was a great experience to be able to be part of it.
