the guy who beat me straight up last race. he was tailing me, really breathing hard af, for 1.5 miles, then i started fading, and he stayed until 2, then he made a move and i couldn't stick, i was dead. he was dead too but he just pushed through it.

anyway, he's not necessarily "faster" than me, i mean by the stats he's way slower on avg, but he's an ironman guy, and those guys are fu*king tough. he showed his toughness in that race, really impressive. I mean he doesn't get into sub18 much but he hung with a 5:27 first mile, that seems outside of his "norm" i imagine. just shows how important "guts" are. he hit like 17:4X that race. Honestly i thought he was going to be toast by 2.. he just sounded like he was overworking. but then it turned out I was toast, and he was toast-but-kept-pushing.

lots of ironman's, triathlons, etc.

he was a really nice dude too.

i've trained with a "former top sfl ironman guy" before, those dudes are tough. they really know how to grind out the pain.

oooh found an interesting article:

https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-xpm-1995-11-03-9511020628-story.html

Quote
The first big weekend name race, Saturday's fourth Home Depot Scholarship Run in Parkland, will serve as a gauge whether running's popularity is waning in South Florida.

After four weeks of road racing, race directors are concerned with the the dropoff in participation. Thus far, there is a 40 percent drop in road racing compared to 1994 races in October.

Quote
The creation of the South Florida Grand Prix Race Series, has done little to increase interest, much to the dismay of Dan Healy, Fort Lauderdale Road Runners president and co-race director of Saturday's event.




also has some grand prix race leaderboard:
