Run by the River 5000

Run by the River 5000 meter race in Clarksville Tennessee . Fast and flat , point to point 5000 meter race . At the time it was considered to be the fastest 5000 meter race in the nation . Bill Rodgers (four time winner of the Boston Marathon and four time winner of the New York City marathon) was the guest speaker at Run by the River in 1998 and he also wanted to break the world record for the grand masters division (50-55) age group for the 5000 meter distance, in which it is a sub15 minute 5k. I am one second behind Bill Rodgers in this photo. Do you think he broke the world record in this 5000 meter race and I had the greatest race of my life? Or do you think he slowed down due to a hamstring injury and I still had a great race? Note: Carlsbad 5000 meter race in California was the second fastest 5000 meter race in the nation at that time.
