Random thoughts this AM ...
-- Hope folk are able to get out to the Kenny Dolan 5K today -picture perfect day for a race in Prospect Park. The race starts on the downhill (near 15th and Prospect Park West), which raises the question - if you want to set a 5K PR, is it better to get the hill out of the way in the first 800 meters (a la the Al Goldstein Speed Series), or near mile 2 (as in today's race). My post high school/college PR was set at Kenny Dolan last year, but I'm not sold that it's the fastest way to do it.
-- Results from the first Al Goldstein 5K race from May 21 are posted here. There's another one coming up on Wednesday.
-- Note this comment at the tail-end of this article on the Marin Memorial Day 5K in California. Fifteen runners were disqualified for wearing headphones, per USATF rules.
-- 9.72. FASTEST 100 METERS EVER. I believe Usain Bolt's race, at last night's Reebok Grand Prix over at Icahn Stadium, will be shown on CBS this afternoon.
-- REMINDER. If you want to apply for the NYC Marathon lottery for this year's race, TODAY IS THE LAST DAY. Results out by Friday, June 6.
-- The NYRR Celebration Run, being held in the wee hours of the morning on June 4, is sold out. Great historical photo of founding member Ted Corbitt on the site.
