Congratulations to Tim Short who set a new course record tonight at 18:40 (5 seconds faster than the previous record — also held by him)!

It was a fast night — 11 runners under 21:00 minutes with 10 runners all coming in between 20:00 and 21:00. That’s never happened before. I was in the middle of that 10 pack and it was a real horse race to the finish… an exciting last mile, for sure.

Female course record holder Jen Howland was the lone woman in the under 21:00 group. I think this is the first week in a long time when she didn’t set a new pr. Watch out for her next week.

Also notable is the age diversity in that under 21:00 group, at least a 40-year spread from the youngest to the oldest. Awesome.

This was our second week in a row with 40+ runners. Guess the word has gotten out!
