Not trying to get another Martinsville type discussion going, but is this course pretty fast? I noticed that just about all of the runners had a significant jump in their season best, except Kent Garrett (7 or 8 seconds) and some others. I think this course is fairly new, and I also heard it is very well kept so can anyone add more on?

I was beyond surprised to see all these fast times from the meet we held this past weekend. To be honest, if someone told me the winning time was in the 15:20's, I would have laughed, normally our course runs noticeably slow. Surprisingly, that was not the case.

With the wood chips, our course normally runs about 10-20 seconds slow, but due to the rain the night before, the wood chips were compacted down into the surface a bit. The weather was ideal and the races were taken out fast. I was in the lead group whom came across the first K at 3:02 and the first mile at 4:56, so with the weather being on our favor and the race having a quick start, the race was already being set-up to have quick times.

When I finished and saw the clock, I was stunned to see that I was going to run a PR. I finished, turned around, and saw many of my teammates running impressive times. Some had PR's over 1 minute. It seemed that everyone had an impressive day on the course.

I can assure you the course is 5K. It's exactly 5 Kilometers, I gurantee it. The course has been wheeled numerous times, and I personally have GPS'd it at least 30 times this season. The fast times are not due to a short course; the course is the appropriate distance.

I believe the reason for the fast times are for the following reasons:
1) Ideal weather
2) An aggressive starting pace
3) Great course conditions (the boys race avoided the rain. Although the girls ran in the rain, the wood chips prevented any muddy spots.)

I agree that everyone ran times faster than normal, but I promise you it is not because the course is short.

One thing Kent left off his email, as to why the times were so fast...

Athletes were absolutely stoked for this meet, just as for a state meet. Only, they didn't have any "win or go home" pressure as they do for state. It was pure adrenalin pumping through every one of them, uninhibited by pressure or worry. Those athletes were bouncing around all day like 3 yr olds hyped up on mountain dew at a Wiggles concert.
