Cam Widoff Perhaps Rob Mackel
Luke Bell and Chris Legh don't fit that timing/era but are two pro's that typically did well at that distance.
hear hear. people forget that widoff threw down some absolutely stunning runs at wildflower over the years.
in the slightly earlier cohort i'd pick tinley, partly because he was fast and partly because he could race rain or shine, every damn weekend.
on the women's draw, i believe badmann set an early 'world's best' time for the half at blackwater one year. not so much because she was a fasttwitch speedster as she could put 15 minutes in the field on a good bike ride. . .
