Mile Results Official!
11 Goats weathered an early morning shower and the real possibility that the track would be under water to run the Mountain Goat timed mile.
Apologies for the delay, but all timed mile results were not official until Sunday. We have received confirmation from the F3TMAORAMGAOA that confirms the following results:
| Name | 6/3 Timed Mile | Fall 2015 Timed Mile | Delta |
| Frasier | 4:57 – PB | n/a | |
| Haggis | 5:28 | n/a | |
| Slim Fast | 5:38 – PB | n/a | |
| Strange Brew | 6:19 – PB | 6:52 | -0:33 |
| Early Bird | 6:21 – PB | 7:11 | -0:50 |
| Nomad | 6:54 – PB | 7:18 | -0:24 |
| Slice | 7:22 – PB | n/a | |
| Retread | 7:27 | 8:01 | -0:34 |
| Pele | 9:48 – PB | n/a | |
| Kilowatt | 10:15 – PB | n/a |
Outback was in attendance, but made the right decision not to aggravate his plantar fasciitis, so he volunteered as timekeeper and encourager. YHC did observe Outback getting some LBC’s and other core exercises in while the other Goats were pushing themselves.
After the timed mile and some recovery laps, we divided into 3 teams to run the ultra-competitive 4×400 relay with late Olympic qualification implications… or maybe not.
Nonetheless, it was a great morning for running the mile… here is the breakdown…

There is not enough that can be said about how impressive the Goats are! Many of the guys on this list couldn’t run a mile 3-4 years ago… and by the PB’s, you can see that they are not only running miles for time, but running them very strong!
First off… we must recognize Frasier for the first recorded sub-5:00 timed mile in Area 51!! Congrats on that new record and benchmark!
Right behind Frasier was Haggis, who was representing SOB along with Outback. Frasier and Haggis are those guys in F3 that are always strong… and what I appreciate the most is that they are very humble about their abilities, and they are always encouraging others both by word and example. Thanks to both of you guys for leading the way.
To start off the morning, Strange Brew stated how humid it was, and that he didn’t expect many PB’s, much less than his own. He must have inspired himself! What I saw on that final 100M was Brew running strong for a PB of 6:21! Great job! You are becoming a Southern Boy all the time!!
After Brew was Early Bird. EB has really improved over the past 6-mos. He had the largest delta from last time. Congrats on the PB!
Following EB was Nomad… RESPECT! Nomad posted his PB which was sub-7:00! STRONG!
Next was Slice, who is relatively new to Mountain Goat. Strong finish, brother, with at 7:22 PB!
Retread finished strong! He didn’t get a PB… but here is Retread’s PB…. He is posting to 2-3 running workouts per week! I know he is getting stronger just based on his stamina and form!
Pele and Kilowatt…. You guys are AWESOME!!! Both have been recuperating from injury in the Winter… Kilowatt had shoulder surgery in January! Pele and Kilowatt represent what Mountain Goat is about! Guys who are building stamina and running strength later in their exercise “careers”. Thank you both for taking the time to get healthy, then inspiring all of the men of F3 with your desire to push yourselves! Both set PB’s in the mile, and that is only the beginning!
Brew and I are committed to running the timed mile in conjunction with Swift. For those that couldn’t participate or felt you weren’t ready… there will be more opportunities!
Ok… would love to type more, but I need to get this sent out!!
Sound-off on anything I missed!
Slim Fast author
Slim Fast deserves a major shout out for his PR as well, he is too humble to write it in the NM but he killed his previous PR and looked pretty strong on the relay leading his team to victory as well! Great work men, it was another awesome experience. If you haven’t run a timed mile in a while it is good to do it, baseline, see where you are, it’s not going to be a PR every time (trust me) and it doesn’t have to be. We’re just out pushing each other!
