Dual Meet #2 Results - @CCHS, 9/27/17

We had some encouraging results from our visit earlier today to Concord-Carlisle, in unseasonably hot and humid conditions. The times, scores and splits can be seen here. I was particularly impressed with how many people were able to hold close to their initial pace for the overall race distance. I asked those who are racing on Saturday to hold something back the first mile and finish at a faster pace. In fact it's nearly impossible to run "negative split" on a course that drops down in the first half and then climbs back up in the second half the way their layout does. Anything remotely close to a steady pace from first mile to the overall average is in fact a negative split effort for a course like this. The numbers from today's race will be very useful in helping to plan out future races starting with this Saturday's meet at Wrentham for those who will be going.
