Borling Second at Austin

Jeremy Borling knew he had his work cut out on Sunday in Austin. The 29-year-old Chicagoan ran an excellent 2:30:23, just off the time he won with last year, and took second place at the Austin Marathon. Victory went to Keith Pierce, 29, of Cedar Park, TX, in 2:20:35. Third was taken by Nichola Roosa, 24, of Orangeburg, NY. On the women's side, the winner was Elle Pishny, 24, of Durham, NC, in 2:53:16. Congrats to Jeremy on a job well-done. Pardon my late posting on this. I was in my alternative universe, participating in the 58K Mora Vasaloppet cross-country ski marathon 90 minutes north of the Twin Cities.
