Pacific 10000m Pursuit Thread

2:12 PR for Kanuho, and solid return for Reilly after missing most of the year.

Mens race was pretty much a dud. Nice duel between Eric Olson and the Venezuelan dude, but not a super compelling race otherwise. Leaders fell off pace early, kinda no point after that for those focused on hitting the A standard (prob why Blankenship dropped out).

Women's race was much more entertaining, and had some good "star power" with Conley, Hall, Hasay, leading the way. Women also outperformed the men relative to the standard (3 women beat it).

For an early (very) season race, it was solid.

Maybe the boring race is to blame, but in terms of length x crappiness this is literally the worst thread in Letsrun history.

I dare you to find worse.

5 pages (and counting) x crappiness rating 8.5 = LTS (Letsrun toilet score) of 42.5.

Hasay looked to be off the cytomel.

Conley and Reilly must have some tough battles in practice against each other! Looking for big things for these training partners.

Reilly is at Furman now

Wow, you are a tremendous douche.

Gonzalez going for it 2 laps to go

About 28:40 pace maybe a bit faster

Wow. Pretty good crowd for December. I hope this idea of December outdoor time trials expands to the entire Southwestern USA.

What about the pacer dropping out after TWO kilometers in a freakin' 10k?! That is totally embarrassing.

That pretty much happens to anybody that runs in Hokas.
