Michael Walsh – the master Pacer
I just noticed there that Michael Walsh came second in the Ballindine no-watch 4-Mile Guess your time race on the weekend. This unique event has a cult following and involves each athlete guessing their time before the race begins and the winners are those that most closely match their time. Michael was only 1 second off his guess of 26:40, and was beaten by Stephen Finnegan who incredibly matched his time exactly of 24:27.
While this is a great prediction performance for Michael, it's made more extraordinary by the fact that he is a former winner of this event, having made the closest guess a couple of years ago – amazing consistency.
