Poor man’s stat mechanism (see here if you’re a stat nut)
I like to do this every now and then to see what the percentages are. Obviously Win percentage is a pretty hard number. Overall race wins is probably a better statistic and adding in top 5 and 10 positions would be good.

So yesterday I did a ‘5 mile’ run that took 7 miles to complete. The run also included a 800 foot increase in elevation. So a bit tough for me.
Below is a portion of the route from Nike Plus. I managed to complete the first part of the run accidentally as I was checking to see where the heck I was. The first part of the run was from end of this run through Memory Grove.
This one made me chuckle. The idea is great. The kids are excited. the tools are off the shelf.
Awesome.
