Mike,
Agreed the last 3/8's were not bad. Sorry if I gave that impression. I just meant that they went slower late than early (they always do) due to fatigue, and if they'd gone faster early, they would have gone slower late and probably a slower final time as well. There are extreme pace situations, sometimes seen in Europe, where they go the half in something like 50 and 3/4's in 1:15 and in those cases the slow pace does cause a slow final time because it's equinly impossible to finish fast enough for a good time. Almost never happens here.
Glad you got my point overall.
Bob
