Thanks for the mention. The Pride Run was mis-measured by ~+.3 miles. I checked with Brett who said he was 1:30 slower and personally I was about 1:45 slower. Second mile split was 1:55 slower than first mile for me. It was hot as usual with awards going 5 deep in some age groups. Bravo. On a side note to those who are interested they serve beer after the race. One of the few.
Thanks for the note, Avi. For Brett to a near 18-minute 5K, I figured it had to be REAL hot. However, a long course makes total sense. I'm not a drinker; however, the Carrabba's Classic Half also served beer too.
