    Good answer to the pacing problem for downhill starts in marathon races like Boston. Many thanks.
    I bumped into Pat Clohessy, Robert DeCastella's coach, at the track tonight. Have asked Pat if he could lay his hands on Deek's Boston splits from his 2:07 win there, a p.b. Will post here if we get them.

    What a GREAT SHOW you've got!

    Wow.... we'd love to check out those splits. Pacing is a passion on mine and I'd love to see how such a great runner has paced such a challenging race!

    Cheers
