The Rabbit Wins!
Race organizers at the Pittsburgh Marathon brought in Jeffrey Eggleston to rabbit the leaders to a fast time.
After running his contracted 18 miles at Olympic Trials qualifying pace (sub 2:19 pace), Eggleston found himself running alone, but in visual contact of the lead pack.
He then threw down some faster miles, caught and passed the leaders for the overall win and a PR time of 2:16:40. Good times!
I could read stories like that all day. Read about it in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Better yet, read about it in Eggleston’s blog.
