Great job. It is always satisfying to PR again after a long time of not PR'ing, you've definately been putting in the work an dit is paying off. I wouldn't put to much stock into that ~19 sec altitude adjustment though, at least not until you run in the 15:teens during outdoor season. Some people just run better at altitude (relative to sea-level)and some people run worse.

Great decision. If it were up to me... this would be in contention for .
Gotta love Indiana. My parents used to live there. Some pretty crazy people there.

Trent here is a link to the photo's taken at Sundays Fell race, its worth scrolling through them.
For my avid fans fan ( are you listening Ilene? ) I'm a few lines down on page 7 "the runners"

you brits are so funny with your affinity for old erections.
Aaack!
You don't know the half of the loonieness but we try not to advertise too much. Would'nt want a rep or anything. I blame it on the corn, flat landscape, never ending winds and the proximity to Ohio.
No for this week?
I'll never get one so I need to live vicariously through others......
Ilene, you seriously need to go to an optician.
Our erections last many many hundreds of years. It is, however, sad that so many of them see so little use these days.
I spent a few months with them and, I think, have experienced close to half of the loonieness. They lived in Fort Wayne, which is possibly at the epicentre of craziness. And not crazy in a good way.
I laughed. Even a Brit gets the oddity of Ft. Fun.
Wow, once I really started looking through the results, I realized what a great week of racing this was for the swamp, especially considering it was just the first week of February!
It was a tough call, but this week's absolutely has to go to Dickey. This guy has been racing hard for years, so when he gets a 23-second 5k PR at altitude, it's a big deal. Especially at his level, which is now mid-15s for 5k. Way to go, Dickey!
Jdmcgregor's amazing 15k performance is the main reason why this week's eight ball was a tough call. According to Daniels, this was the best race of his life, at any distance. Add in the fact that the course was super hilly, and that he got a 1-mile PR in the middle of it, and we must conclude that jdmcgregor is just at the start of a great breakthrough in running. Honorable Mention, congrats!
Chaloo gets an Honorable Mention as well, for running essentially the same pace on a 20k as he did in a similar-profile 15k just three weeks before. Not only that, but this was his best race at the longer distances by far. Chaloo, you will crush your half marathon PR the next time you race that distance.
And I just have to give one more Honorable Mention to Onionbag1 for the ridiculousness of running 9.5 hours in that. And for completing his first ultra. Onionbag, you are nuts, man. Nice job.
