Yes, Burt - the 3.3 mile race
Yes, Burt - the 3.3 mile race was barefoot. And in a halloween costume.
I finished in the middle of the pack for that marathon. I wasn't straggling towards the back with everyone worried about my health. That 5:24 of mine was a solid, average finish for that course. It wasn't "technical", but it wasn't on woods roads, either. Here are the results, if you want to take a look-see for yourself.

Adam - there's a lot of stopping and ducking under things, climbing over things, etc. So it's not like I was plugging along at a 12 minute mile the whole time. When running, I ran faster. I just had to slow to barely moving pretty regularly.
