Race Day in San Diego

From Joe: the mission bay xc course is a set up like i have never seen before. The 2k loop that will be run 6 times, is in a very small area of the park. the best way to describe it is like a roller coaster. you are pretty much either turning right, left, or going up or down small hills. the start stretch runs about 350meters which is a nice however i like the flow of this technical course... the final wrap around turn on the bell lap should be crazy.


UPDATE: glorious weather greets harriers on starting line

2:00PM - Wiggy blasts off from starting line, 12k to go...

Leaders, including Moran, Bruce, hit 1K in 2:54

Leaders pass 2k in manageable 5:55

Williamsburg-based Moran leads pack, 3k is hit in 8:53

Moran, Quigley lead giant pack. Most favorites appear in pack. 11:52 at 4k (2.5 miles)
