Eventually, Flanagan would have no more of the slow (relatively speaking) pace, and she moved into the lead. Carrie Tollefson and Shayne Culpepper followed.

Flanagan soon began to pull away, and no one went with her.

Carrie Tollefson and Amy Rudolph were among those who led the chase pack. Also in there were Lauren Fleshman, Shayne Culpepper, Amy Yoder Begley, Sara Slattery (mostly obscured) and Sara Bei.

Two Amys - Yoder Begley and Rudolph - lead the pack, with Lauren Fleshman also right there.

Flanagan's lead only grew as the sun went down, and with a mile to go, it became clear that it would be very tough for anyone to catch her.
