Wanders 59:13 on flat course is much better than this
I dunno I feel like this course is somewhat honest. Rolling hills early, albeit going from 200 to 40 ft. in the first 8 miles. After that, however, you climb from 40 to 150 ft. from 8-12. 12 to the finish loses 60 ft. Overall, you're losing about 140 ft. but a lot of that comes early and you do get some uphill miles later in the race.
I think the take should be that Mo is getting fit for Chicago.
