Yeah, a pretty healthy downhill about 2/3 of the way in. Still a smokin' time.
Downhill? From the meet website -

"The Ryan Shay Mile
Saturday - July 24th - 2010
This exciting “invite only” event is in its third year and is already a destination for many top distance runners. Runners from around the country are invited to compete for $4,000 in prize money. The 2009 male winner was Rondell Ruff (4:01.9) and the female winner was Frances Koons (4:31.9).
The course is straight, flat, fast, and certified. Thousands of spectators line the course from approximately the half mile mark to the finish. Invited runners will be provided housing and possibly travel money."
