Red's Shoe Barn - old CR

My CR from the Red’s Shoe Barn 5m reached the 19 year mark (04-14-1996) today.  On that day back in 1996 I ran a 24:12.01 over the rolling course.  I got out well in a pack with Dan Verrington, Mike O’Brien, Eric Morse, and Byrne Decker.  Dan stuck the longest and I didn’t get clear of him until the final mile.  I got my win with Dan running a solid 24:37 followed by O’Brien (24:47), Morse (24:57) and Decker (25:09). 

 

I’m not sure what the old CR was at the time but the race was already in its 15^th year by that time so there were probably some sub-25 times.  In the last 9 years there have only been four runners under 26 minutes.  There must have been some decent prize money back in the day since there were some quick times run.
