Anybody put a Garmin or speedometer to that bad boy? For some reason I think it was 25.5 miles.

I'd have to check my speedometer, IIRC the sprint course was 12.8 or so on it, which would make the Oly 25.6

Call the swim 2000 yards, call the bike 25.5, and the run I have seen short by either .1-.3 of a mile. They never get this course measured right.I can understand the bike and run beign off as it's an urban course and you need to work the intersections and turns you have, but the swim is silly why he can't get that right, ever. Last year it was short and the bike was 27.5 miels, but at least we knew that going in (the bike that is).

The sprint swim was off too, at least all appearances are that way. Top swim time I can find for a sprint is a 7:04, which is right around a 1:40/100yd pace. My swim even if you say I took 2 minutes in T1 was 8:00, or 2:00/100 and their ain't no way I swam that.
