I must say there's something I don't understand about you all in the USA.
Having spent the first 28 years of my life in England, I don't have any
problem at all with miles. For cross-country races, where there is less
need to compare times across courses because the courses vary a lot, I
don't even have a problem with races STILL being contested over miles. But
here we have 2 races whose total distance is declared to be a whole number
of kilometres (6, 10 respectively) yet the splits are recorded every mile!
So at the end, there's a fraction of a mile left over for which you don't
get any split. Would have been much more interesting to see kilometre
splits and to be able to look at the final kilometer split.
