Devin McDowell claimed the top spot among the men for the race and second overall, finishing 11 seconds behind frost. “I was just trying to keep my own pace going, and it worked out pretty good,” McDowell explained. “I caught at about mile 5, we ran together for a few miles, and then the guy that was leading started to fall back a little bit,” he said. “She smelled blood and just went after it, and I was like oh okay, yeah, you go.
