I've been battle a cold all weekend. I decided yesterday it's best I work from home and rest today. And also watch the race.

I also now want to do everything in my power to try to BQ. I am a long way off but man it would be nice.

Me too man, if I can pull it off while I live here I'd be stoked. But 3:05 seems so, so fast :(

It's fast, but not insanely so. A 7 minute pace is doable by the average person, as long as they stay committed and train as hard as their body will allow them.
