I can see you've been to Prague. You should definitely come to Kosice.

I'll make it 4 extra minutes on an average day there for a 3-hour runner :) I think there could be a lot of argument about all these times since it depends on people's individual experiences, like someone running Boston this year could argue it's about as fast as anywhere, but on average it isn't. There's a lot more races I'm going to add to this over the years but hopefully this will remind me of fun ones to go back to and maybe be useful to other people too :)sharmanianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14079178597179728898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-379797745883386200.post-4217923194447391612011-10-24T19:20:10.688-07:002011-10-24T19:20:10.688-07:00Only 3 minutes added for Big Sur?

Honolulu is in winter and starts pre-dawn and even that adds a lot of time (see above).sharmanianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14079178597179728898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-379797745883386200.post-78005665293787630502011-10-24T12:43:11.986-07:002011-10-24T12:43:11.986-07:00Interesting write up, thanks.

I may have to poke around for a map (and increase my life insurance policy on account of the traffic congestion)<br />I've run every Rock N Roll Arizona Marathon and am curious to see how this year's course changes impact finishing times.<br />If you ever give the Bangkok Marathon a shot, would be interested to see how many minutes you add. As a 3:15-3:20 marathoner, I found the oppressive weather conditions added about 45 minutes to my normal finish time.Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00226553284730505405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-379797745883386200.post-44973456474648908592011-10-24T01:46:44.268-07:002011-10-24T01:46:44.268-07:00Great stuff Ian.

Although you might be a bit hard on the Dublin course I would say 1-2mins off ideal as the 2nd half contain a fair bit of downhill sections to make up for the first half.
