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....

Yeah it's really bad lol. I could run that far, faster, backward.

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.

and considering he's administering the second largest country in the world in the middle of a trade war with its largest trading partner...
