After a fast pace throughout the race (1st 2K loop: 23:49, 2nd loop: 23:59, 3rd loop: 24:12, 4th loop: 23:35, 5th loop: 23:42), Chloe swept pass Emily Brunemann, Christine Jennings and Eva Fabian.
Once in the lead, she hung on to 1:59:18 to Christine’s 1:59:20.3, Eva’s 1:59:20.4 and Emily’s 1:59:24.
It is interesting to note that Christine and Eva raced a total of 15K (9.3 miles) in two separate races at the National Championships, but only a total of 3 tenths of a second separated them over the 5K and 10K races. In the 5K, Christine beat Eva 59:45.7 to 59:45.9.
