Tough going this morning in New York City's Central Park. Gusty winds, pouring rain and temperatures in the 30s made for slow but interesting racing. Heading South on Central Park drive the wind blew so hard at times that runners were pushed aside mid-air. On the homestretch though, along East 90s, that meant no less than literally standing still if caught by a wind gust.Brilliant performance by 31 year old Trent Briney from Rochester Hills, fourth at the '04 Olympic Trials in 2:12 and change. With a sub5 minute pace he kept the locals from Manhattan and Central Park Track Club nicely in check, bringing it home with a comfortable 50 second lead.
