Congratulations, Charlie! Top 500, top 5%, a 5:43 PR on a 1ish hr race
(about 8% drop). Sounds like you had a really nice race. Maybe didn't
get your sub 60, but getting there. Sounds like your training is paying
off. Keep it up!
Thanks for the race report - and some info about the race, including the
fact that a National Distance Running Hall of Fame exists. Road running
in lower 48 is really a world apart from where I am and what I'm exposed
to on a daily basis. ;) And I always find the concept of "distance
running" confusing. I thought Jim Ryun was a miler and Pre was 5k (?).
If it weren't for this ng, I wouldn't know the race (or the Hall of
Fame) even existed, never mind being fairly significant.
