I know others here ran, please confirm the following.
The mile markers for 7 and 8 added up to about 2.5 miles and then mile 8-9 was only about 800-1000 meters. I thought my watch was off and that I slowed considerably, and then suddenly I was back on overall pace and my watch was bang on. Such an F up by NYRR, it really screwed with my pacing. Still PR’d at 1:18 but for $130 I’d expect the mile markers to not be half a mile off. Ridiculous.
