RE: t-and-f: LYNN NELSON in ULTRAMARATHON
So what you're saying is that those of us on the list who have very little respect for the "race" walk (a definite oxymoron) should have even less respect for talent of ultra-marathoners.

Re: t-and-f: LYNN NELSON in ULTRAMARATHON
The 7:45 pace would not be good on roads but this race ran on trails. I have run them and they are not fast. So yes that pace is good. More useful is the place in the results.

Re: t-and-f: LYNN NELSON in ULTRAMARATHON
7:45 pace for 31 miles is good? That pace would not even make the US 50km Race Walk team, and it is supposed to be an excellent run? This should shed some light on the ability of RWers worldwide. MJR
