Run Sub13

Ok, so the other guy -- Augustine Choge -- was faster. He also did most of the work setting the pace in earning the win. It wasn't what Craig wanted but as he said afterwards he was singularly focused on the race and he wouldn't have prepared any differently.

Here are the splits from the lead runner.

1k 2.39:54

2k 5.14:6

3k 7.53:86

4k 10.29:8

5k 12.56:41

Choge said: "I thank the Australian crowd for cheering. I knew this man was a great one, and he was in good shape. We just wanted to run a good race, and run a fast race. Mottram is a great man and ran a great race."
