    Geez!!!!

     

    This is a 5K race that takes place not too far from where I live. How would you like to run a 14:54 5K and come in 8th place? That wasn't me BTW. I 'm just sayin'!

      Yeah, $17,000 in prize money will do that to a race...

      Come all you no-hopers, you jokers and rogues
      We're on the road to nowhere, let's find out where it goes

        That's about right for the area. I run against some of these guys fairly regularly, and would expect it to shake out like this.

        But note that most of the local speedsters weren't present, which can be said of most races of this size/nature.

          Hey everyone,

           

          Just curious...I ran a 5k yesterday, and 43 out of 760 finishers did it in under 20 minutes (http://www.compuscore.com/cs2013/sept/jimmyd.htm ). My unscientific opinion is that that seems like a lot as a proportion of the whole field.  Is that typical for a 5k?  By the way, the winner finished in 15:50!

           

          It's a New Balance Grand Prix race, so you can expect some speedy club runners to show up.
