B.A.A. Invitational Mile, Sunday

Gotta go with SF. Who cares about the men?

Sherer.

Pablo Solares by three seconds...

Carrie returns to competition, finally, giving shalene a run for the tape. Shalene wins by <1 second.

(prediction)

Anne Willard in a kick.

Pablo Solares in a runaway.

Does Pablo train in Boston?

My predictions: Solares in 3:56 and Willard in 4:28.

Pablo by 1sec right ahead of Craigg

Why in the f*** did you put an 'i' in his name??

Wonder if Adam will be wearing his "Kara Goucher's Husband" shirt during his last place finish in the men's race

Slow races....don't think we're going to see this again next year.

Anybody have the official results?

I just posted them. Does anyone know if the course was hilly or had some turns?

3 laps around a city block does not make for fast times...

If they measured the mile point to point, then it's possible that by swinging wide on these turns people were running more than a mile...not to mention the momentum you lose by trying to turn sharply.

Here's Shalane talking about the course:

They had cones at the corners in a way so that there were no sharp turns.

And the course is dead flat.
