Google weird routing?

Hey folks,
Looking at an mtr going out via a couple of different transit circuits,
Google seems to be doing weird things.

RTT pinging google.com is coming up with like 250-300ms times, but mtr's
are telling me my packets are hitting google's network very quickly.
Google's network then seems to send them on a rather long trip before
reaching the google.com frontend servers.

An example:

(209.85.248.4)  217.338 ms 66.249.94.141 (66.249.94.141)  217.573 ms
17  72.14.236.75 (72.14.236.75)  276.349 ms  276.097 ms 72.14.239.235
(72.14.239.235)  277.180 ms
18  bom07s01-in-f14.1e100.net (216.58.199.142)  276.139 ms  276.980 ms
64.233.174.27 (64.233.174.27)  279.212 ms

As you can see from this traceroute output, Level3 is delivering my packets
to Google (hop#7 and beyond) just fine, however all of the hops including
#7 and beyond are all inside of google's network.

My packets are originating from AS 394102.

Anyone from google have any idea what's going on there?

Thanks,
Matt
