The leaders had a HUGE lead on 6th place, yet still continued to pick up the pace. What is the point? They could've cruised in almost 20-30 seconds slower and had no fears of anyone catching them, yet they still continued to speed up. Goucher looked to be smart as she was watching the live feed up on screen just chilling back in 3rd of 4th, but then felt the need to go after the leader. Just doesnt make sense why they cant look up at the screen and realize that 6th place is nowhere in sight and to slow down and not speed up. I dont actually follow womens 5k's that much so i dont konw if 15:30 is taking anything out of them, but surely it takes more out of them than say a 15:50 like shalane just ran. Some poor tactics in my opinion.
