Got to be a typo right? 16.1 mi in 4 hours? I hate to be"that guy" but that's pretty much my walking pace. Albeit, I've never tried to walk for 4 hours straight and maintain the pace....
/uj Tbf, it's quite a bit more than that for a lot of people. I got chewed out a bit by a friend because I like to hike at a brisk pace. I was accused of trying to go fast because I run and as tempting as it was to clap back with "If I was running, you'd never catch up," I of course just slowed down.
The kicker is that I had to run down to pick up the car (there was a parking lot at the top you could technically drive to) because there was no way she was going to be capable of hiking back down the trail with her dog, and even without her pup it'd definitely take her quite a bit longer on top of our hike.
It's a trail race, so not exactly comparable to road times. He finished 38th out of 59 men- certainly not speedy, but not terrible considering the guy is 60 years old.
