Burning River Splits

Just a bunch of data for now with a few comments mixed in.  Plan to write more later.

I wore my Garmin 205 for the first 10 hours of the race.  Then switched to my niece's 305 while my crew recharged my 205.  Switched back to the original recharged watch 7 hours later.  I tried to hit the lap button coming into and out of each aid station so that I could also analyze time spent at the aid stations.

Time is from the race results / splits.  Pace is according to the race splits and includes any time spent at the previous aid station.

Times in parenthesis are mile pace for a fraction of a mile.  Example in Segment B, that was 10:23 for .89 miles or 11:39 pace.
