WOW, thats an absolutely amazing time. Last 2km in 5:00 is simply incredible. Alan Webb also threw it down placing 4th in a fast time of 3:33.70. He seems to be proving his critics wrong this season. Also a great run by Carmen Douma-Hussar: 4:04.85 for a world leading time this season. Its looking like the womens Canadian National 1500 is going to be an awesome race this year.
