Ocean Springs results

As promised, here are the results of the 2024 Battle On The Bayou race that took place on Old Fort Bayou at Ocean Springs, Mississippi, yesterday.

My G.P.S. device measured the race distance at 13.47 kilometers (8.37 miles), though you might give or take a hundred meters or so, given the messed-up start yesterday.  At last year's race, my same G.P.S. device told me it was 13.56 km (8.43 miles).

As reported in my last post, it was not a day for any course records because of the relentless wind.  My fastest time ever on this course is one hour, 11 minutes, 38 seconds, but I'm happy just to have broken 80 minutes yesterday.
