I realize there are a ton of factors that go into the speed rating, but based solely on fractions, compare the race to the 50k allowance he ran in Oct as they were both a mile and 1/16th:
Allowance: 23.3 / 48 / 113.3 / 144.3 Beyer = 80
Sam F Davis: 23.4 / 48 / 112.2 / 144.2 Beyer = 95
One could make an arguement that the competition in KEE that day (Sam P. for one) was much classier than this bunch. Again, other factors considered, I'm having a tough time getting my arms around a 15 point improvement. I thought it would have been closer to 85-88.
