Joe Takes Direct Flight From Santa Rosa to Boston!

Congrats to Joe for SMASHING his Boston qualifying time (3:10) and punching his ticket to the 2012 Boston Marathon! Joe flew through the Santa Rosa course at a 6:56/mile pace to stop the clock at 3 hours and 2 minutes! Incredible! Here it is by the numbers...

• 26.2 miles in 3 hours 2 minutes
• 6:56/mile
• 8.6mph
• A pace that is faster than 38 of the 44 recorded 5K PR's on our gO! log
• At that pace, Joe could run across the country (SF to NYC) in exactly 2 weeks.
• It is faster than the top reported speed of a house mouse (8.0 mph)
• He burned an estimated 1018 cal/hour... or a Big Mac and Large Fry per hour
• He ran the equivalent of 105 laps (400m), non-stop, around the track while averaging 1:43 per lap. 
• An average "mobility/handicap" scooter could not keep up with Joe's marathon pace as they max out at 8mph.

I hereby declare Joe "The Man," and officially change the gO! Group name to "gO! w/ Joe!"
