A Georgia woman was disqualified from the Chickamauga Battlefield Marathon on Saturday for recording unthinkable splits.

Tabatha Hamilton was believed to run the first half of the race in 2:06:51. She then finished the race in 2:55:39, officially. While the time is likely for a woman’s marathon, her splits indicate that she ran 3:37 per mile for the latter half of the race.

Hamilton is claiming she covered the entire course, while her pace suggests she could’ve hung with Dennis Kimetto during his world record setting performance in Berlin (4:42 per mile). Hmm...
