in the "week that was" section the writer criticizes the anchor legs of the dmr (outside stanford's brown). Did i miss something while watching the dmr? it appeared that once the field inched up to manzano and brown is when lea took off (300 to go). once he felt the field on his outside shoulder (lasalle's quigley, g-town's bumb.) he took off, at which point those guys were in a tough position to get the win. it was leo who wouldn't allow any other anchors t6 pass, not lack of effort from those guys. if anything, i would argue brown ran the worst tactical race. he should of allowed leo to dictat the pace. why go right by the guy just to run 60-61 quarters. in my experience i've found that sitting on the leaders shoulder actually makes one the agressor at the end of the race, as leo showed here.
