The rank and file of road running

Last week I finished 452nd; this week I was 3rd.

Last week I put my foot down for a while and passed dozens of runners but the moment I was slackened there were others passing me; this week I passed one runner in the first half mile and ran the rest of the race alone finishing almost a mile behind the next runner and (had it been on the track) a lap and a half ahead of the one behind me.

Last week was brilliantly organised like a military event; this week was brilliantly organised like a military event.

Thanks to the officers and the foot soldiers.
