Tossing out old notes (or Goucher's Brussels lap times)

[26mi235]

He really had three races: He had 7 laps in the <65 range, then 8 or 9 in the 66-67 range, then 69 and 70 most the of the rest of the way (he kicked hard enough to sneek under 28).

13:38/14:21 is definitely the hard way to run a 27:59.

Talk about two different races in one. He went from running 27:16 pace to running 28:42 pace.

Ouch.

Was sitting about 60m from the finish, so there was a definite parallax involved in my timing!

I added the splits for better understanding of the race.
