My slowest goal was a PR, so I would not have settled for anything slower than that. I have other details about the race to share, but I will be putting that in the post race round up that I'll be publishing tonight or tomorrow morning. Nick, yeah, I had no doubts that it was mismarked. I am pretty sure that I ran the first two miles pretty consistently; I may have sped up a small amount towards the end of the first or beginning of the second but I rarely need a watch to know when the mile markers are coming. When I was running with Ryan I would tell him we should be hitting a mile marker soon, we would glance up, and it would be about 30 or 40 feet away. Wes, yes, that was a personal best.

That's a pretty consistent race. I might have freaked a little about the first mile, but you probably know your pace well enough to know the marker was wrong! Excellent job and thanks for the review.
