Fast field yesterday at The Last Race of the Year: the winner came in at 20:08; 20:23 was good for third. Meanwhile, at our end of the pack I was 30:13(08:31 pace-- 10th in my age group); Tom was 31:25 (8:51-- 11th); Jim was 30:04 (08:28- good for 8th in the 40 to 44 group); and Dave was 30:05 (8:28-- 10th in the highly competitive senior bracket). This is obviously a race for genetic freaks-- Jim's bracket was won by a guy who ran 6:39 splits; Tom and I were up against a guy who ran a 20:22 (and came in second over all); and the top three finishers in the 50 to 55 group were all under seven minute mile pace.
