Elevation Profile of the Flying Pig vs Hatfield McCoy

Posted on May 28, 2008 by Thomas Powell

The Hatfield McCoy marathon does not look impossibly daunting of a task…
Granted:
1) Flying Pig was 6:30am vs. Hatfield 7:30am start
2) May 4th was unseasonably cool.
3) June 14th is 6 weeks closer to the heart of summer.

Obviously, the noise/granularity of the Flying Pig elevation map exaggerates the elevation totals, or vice versa, but Hatfield/McCoy still looks about even with the Flying Pig.

Flying Pig Elevation change +3,402/-3,337 ft (MotionBased Gravity Web elevation)

Hatfield McCoy Elevation change +3,186 / -3,175 ft (MotionBased Gravity Web elevation)

  • How long was your marathon? /caption] How long was your marathon?  It's a question that annoys the slightly-less-than-novice marathoner.  There's an air of offense that comes in response to the question:  "How dare you not know how far I ran?  It's a marathon.  Worship me." But there's not that much that is special about finishing......
