Dutchess County Classic: Anatomy of a victory

Thanks to Spencer Johnson for sharing his race splits with me. This was a good win for Spencer, who took the Walkway Marathon title, which was also held in steamy conditions. He took a conservative approach early on and then settled into a hard but manageable pace. Here are his race splits:

Mile 1: 5:39

Mile 2: 6:01

Mile 3: 5:37

Mile 4: 5:37

Mile 5: 5:37

Mile 6: 5:34

Mile 7: 5:33

Mile 8: 5:33

Mile 9: 5:38

Mile 10: 5:44

Mile 11: 5:32

Mile 12: 5:21

Mile 13: 5:26
