Andrew Carlson finally came out of hiding to take the 25k US Championship title on May 8th. It was worth the wait for him as the overall win + the US Champ money = $10,000.
AC ran with a large pack that slowly dwindled to six, and then pulled away late in the race with training partner Brett Gotcher the only one to follow. Gotcher couldn't hang for long as AC put in a 4:41 mile to separate and secure his win. Gotcher arrived 24sec. later and Nick Arciniaga who has been making some strong showings of late, rounded out the top 3.
After the race AC sounded like he had intended to challenge Fernando Cababa's(where is he anyway?) American Record of 1:14:20, but fell a little short.
Defending champ Dan Browne had a lackluster return, finishing 11th.

Katie Mcgregor was 3rd overall in ladies race, but took the US Championship title.
And I must give an honorable mention to my dear ol' Dad, who after trying "on and off for about 30 years", at long last, cracked the two hour barrier in this race.
He's running better than ever at 57 and his mustache is looking better ever too.
He will surely be setting age group world records in a few more years.

World age group records? Setting the bar pretty high there, especially after I finally just barely cracked into regional status. Now I'm going to have to do some "real" training. Anyway, thanks for the recognition in your blog. My mustache thanks you as well. So far, I've experienced lots of sweat, some blood but no tears. When that happens, it will indeed be a special day.
