The pace was more appropriate for a sprint, not a mile, and Honor Code had to have been at least 15 lengths back (I had called it different area code, but may have been overstating the case) when he started his run. I'd love to look at a chart that could tell me what his internal fractions were, for his last half mile was visually jaw dropping.

Fractions 22.4 44.92 1:08.74
Splits 22.50 23.82 24.44
And it was jaw dropping!!!
