Cababa 16th. Nice showing for him.
I hope you're being sarcastic. 29:44 is not a nice showing for Cabada. Even in brutal weather he should have been high 28s.

Is Peachtree a net downhill? Those times seem a bit too fast for hot conditions.
Peachtree has some very good downhill pretty much the whole way.

Yes, Peachtree is aided. The certified course loses 3.4m of elevation for each kilometer of race distance (total downhill of 34m or 112 feet. Only 1m/km is allowed for record-setting.

Is that a typo? I googled that name and NOTHING comes up.
Sean's other PRs include mile-4:02, 5K-13:40, 10K-28:02 and half marathon-1:03:46. He is currently one of the fastest master runners in the world.
Nope, not a typo.
He ran 9:28 3200 at the Georgia state meet for 3rd. He did this after a month of training. He is an ethiopian coming to America via kenya. He is a genetic freak.
Look out for him this fall.

Are you serious about this? Man, there are a couple of pretty decent hills in that race. I used those hills as my excuse a few years ago for only running in the mid 33s, which was about a min. slower than my PR. Damn. You just burst my bubble today.
Point-to-point road courses are always suspect. If you run poorly in hot weather or hills that could be the reason for the time. A bad race is nothing to stress about. It's the slow PR's that suck.

My 3 slowest 10Ks ever were all Peachtrees. Even though it is net downhill, the high humidity and the location of the hills get me every time. Actually, this year was my best Peachtree so far. I crossed the line, don't remember much after that, and somehow wobbled over to the C balloon (C for Carnivore, of course), where I lay in the grass for half an hour until my buddy found me and revived me with three 20 oz. Powerades. So if anyone saw the dead-looking dude with the blue Nike shirt on underneath the C balloon, that was me.
