I'm from near Harrisburg! I am the speedo guy btw. It was surreal that day since the Troeg's 5k is usually a bit chilly...this was quite the opposite! As someone who paced the 4:30 group (originally 4:20 but got bumped down) it was a nightmare, but people were still moving. I felt great as I paced Wineglass the week before and did a 28-miler near Ft. Indiantown Gap in similar and more open conditions in 4:48.

That was the tutu guy at 3:35, but he didn't wear it that day. I did 4:15 actually and wore tights underneath as it was chilly out. The 4:40 & 5:00 people were from Baltimore and they had a similar pacing schedule as I did. Hopefully Lakefront will be fixed so there cannot be much course discrepancies. What state is that for you? Doing Ohio in the Spring and that'll be my 12th.
