^Available sources reveal a number of inconsistencies in the claim that it was Peitri's mark that was bested by Johansson on March 1, 1910 or that Johansson mark was truly a record-setting performance. The New York Times reported that Johansson broke Peitri's mark of 2:44:20.4 which was set on November 28, 1908;[3] however, data provided by the Association of Road Racing Statistician indicates three faster times (including Charlie Gardiner's 2:37:01.4 on December 18, 1909) were recorded in the interim leading up to the Crowley/Holmer/Johansson race.[4] Two days after their initial report, The New York Times published that there was "considerable discussion" that the race distance may have been short due to how the course was measured.[5] The Association of Road Racing Statisticians does not indicate any irregularity with the distance or performance, and the International Association of Athletics Federations would not have reported Johansson's March 1, 1910 performance as a previous world best because it was set as a professional.[1]
