Come on, George.  The idea that Americans can't relate to metric splits is
absurd.  Who doesn't relate to the total time in a metric race?  If you know
that 30:00 is a good time for a 10k cross country race, you will realize that
3:00 kilometer splits is the pace that will get you there, even if you are a
Palm Beach Co. voter.
