2019 Almgren Memorial Mayday Race Results
(May 5, 2019)

The Princeton Math Team won the 44th annual Fred Almgren memorial race trophy, with a time of 2:49. There were 8 (or 9) teams in the race; many teams split and re-merged.

There was some confusion during the race. The RU Math Undergrad team had two problems: The runner on leg 1 decided to walk, and the leg 2 runner had to run leg 1 backwards to find him. Their runner for leg 4 started 2 minutes early, so their team's times were adjusted. In addition, the RU Math fun team runner for leg 7 showed up 4 minutes after their runner for leg 6 finished.

The next race will be Sunday May 3, 2020, from Princeton to Rutgers.

** RU Math Undergrad time 52:30 at 5-mile locks is the arrival time of the 
  first runner, not the start of the runner on leg 2. That runner had 
  to first run back 0.75 miles along leg 1 to meet teammate 
  (starting at 10:34), then forward 4.9 miles to end of leg 2.
