As a reminder, one needs to stay in control and not blow a gasket; I was there the year Alan Webb did that on this course.

Yes. I posted it on the other Carlsbad thread
You dudes are not posting predictions of time and placement.
Thing I've always wondered about that course is, wouldn't it be windy since it's on a cliff above the ocean shore?
15:06 for the win
Not saying it's Mt. Marathon, but downhill is downhill.

I hope that she does well. After this her sponsor will have her running all kinds of odd distance mountain and trail runs of various lengths. Will we ever see her on the track or running 5K's and 10K's on the road again?
I thought she had switched to trail or mountain running...?

15:15, third
If she can pull this off, I would be elated.
‘Flattish’, compared to ‘gradual’ downhill:

2nd in 15:22.... 1st if Laura Galvan has an off day.
+1 Good summary article on the course.

There may be a slight breeze sometimes.

Allie clocked a 15:48 in a road race last June. Her more recent 15k is worth a 16:30 (though not her best distance, and picked up blisters).
The Carlsbad 5000 is a fair course, and not completely flat.
Her recent workouts look pretty good. Not knowing the entry list, currently I’ll peg her at 3rd in 15:45, but am open to further good input.
15k was in warm conditions after she's been training in Seattle all winter. Can't use that to say much about her 5k shape. She got 6th at a US Champs at a distance well above what she usually races. I still feel good about ~5:00 pace. 15:30-15:40.
I can’t find where this is televised/streamed. Anyone know?
I hope she has a good run, I think she can run 15:30.
Twitter is streaming all the races NOW....
