Turns out, she may have bee a little under the weather. She went agains the best in the world tonight.
WOW!
Editor's note: We changed the title of the thread after the race was over.
Coburn got her pacing off a bit tonight. But that was probably her only hope - try to steel the race.
She had a 4-second lead at one point. But if she was 302, the field was 306 then another 306. So the field did what jenny simpson does -run even.

I think the plan was to try and run 9:09. 2nd pacemaker, Garcia, may (or may not) have fallen off not to get too much separation (commercials were going on).
