Who's Toby Tanser? I looked on NYRR and he finished in 16:41. So, if I was close to him at the turnaround, he sped up a bunch that last mile-and-a-half.

My Garmin said 3.14, which is not so bad, at least there was just one (brutal!)turn on this race. Add turns to the hills and I would have been toast! fun course though!

I make it 5:59.2 per mile for 5000m, so it's a bit rude if they round that up to 6:00. Nice PB -- you'd go considerably faster on a flat course or the track. Great race (and report)!

You're such a rock star. The nice thing about a 5k is that when you put in a lot of energy during the first 2 miles (as you clearly did), you can just hold tight and ride that for the last mile. That last mile goes SO fast. Congrats! Excellent! You’re such a rock star.

I'm going to approach it more with the typical marathon mentality and will have a nice, extended recovery after running my heart out there. Or, at least that's the plan now.
