Thing is, what can Jenny do about it other than just trying to drop the hammer and run away from Rowbury? A slower early pace would likely favor Shannon at the end.
Well, the slower early pace did not "favor Shannon at the end". Better luck next time. And what was excessive about Nick being thrilled to have just won the 5th Ave. Mile? If he did a cartwheel & the Ickey Shuffle, I missed it.
Better luck NEXT TIME LOl! Jenny Simpson has one FIVE 5th ave miles. . if I was Shannon I would write off the 5th ave mile and concentrate on her strengths. Road racing miles against JS is clearly not one of them.
