Just
as the rest of the field was beginning to look antsy,
Alistair Cragg answered everyone's question.
|
|
Cragg
and his coach, John McDonnell, didn't want Cragg to

an attempt to wear out Nick Willis. Instead, they
decided that Cragg would sit back...
|
...for
the first kilometer, and run the last 2K hard. So
about five laps into the race...
|
...Cragg
surged into the lead and Nick Willis followed.
|
Chris
Solinsky adjusts to the new pace.
