08Pacing Validation
✓
Pacing math checks out. Every leg's stated pace times its distance matches the elapsed-time delta between consecutive target clock times, within normal rounding (max difference across all 13 legs: 0.04 min/mi). The clock times themselves (6:41 AM, 8:30 AM, etc.) are all exactly 5:00 AM start + the stated elapsed minutes — recomputed independently, not just re-displayed.
✓
Elevation gap resolved. Audited every leg against Lucci's own supplied 2026 GPX track (52,829 GPS points) — now treated as authoritative over the commonly-cited 12,064 ft manual figure. Corrected two legs with real drift (Ranch TH→Homestead TH and Homestead TH→Spruce Mountain, up to 51 ft each); the other eleven were already within a few feet. New verified total: 11,708 ft gain / 11,938 ft loss. Doesn't change any single leg's pacing target.

*Sum of the rounded per-leg distances above. Each leg is rounded to 0.1 mi; using the precise cumulative mile markers instead, the real total is exactly 100.3 mi — the 0.1 mi gap is a rounding artifact from summing pre-rounded numbers, not a real distance error. Gain/loss figures re-audited against Lucci's 2026 GPX 2026-09-21 — see finding above.
