Why did they do this .What was it 12k plus 150 8k plus 150.That course was slow enough without the extra 150.Look at the guys who ran 5 min pace as if they run that slow.2010 was a much better race and course.I mean brent might have run much faster on a true 12k and not on that foolish course.
So what?
Pretty simple - the course loop starts at the very beginning of a straightaway on the widest section of the course - that makes sense. But that means that the loop ends on a curve leading to that straightaway and that doesn't make for a good finish. So after the last lap they have the runners run 110 meters more down the beginning of that straightaway to the the finish line.
It was only 110 meters and that was clearly stated before hand on the course section of the race website.
No problems. There were timing mats and markers so you could get every 1k split the whole race if you wanted to.

I'll assume that was a question. As far as the discussions that I was privy to last weekend on site, a lot of thought by both the LOC and USATF was dedicated to what actions might prompt the most inflammatory and meaningless LRC threads. Looks like course design FTW.
As Alan said above, get over it and move on.
o your so funny i want to be there when you make a mess up but i dont have all day fag.
