Notes
6:17 1st mi, 6:38 2nd mi, 7:15 last 1.1 for 6:36 pace. In the first mile I decided 6:30's were a reasonable goal. Talking to Spence before the race, he called 19:59 and I said it could happen without really committing to it. Not realistic, but it could have happened. He heard me chasing in the last 1/4 mile and turned the final stretch into a track meet as usual. He passed Frank Rucki and left 19:59 behind. My story, I passed about 5 people in the last mile, building a finish pace that felt nice and easy. I was accelerating slowy and so comfortably I didn't want to spoil it. I just eased foward and had a great race.
