Carrie Tollefson will compete in the inaugural B.A.A Invitational Mile in conjunction with the Boston Marathon this weekend. The race will be held the day before the marathon and features a top-notch elite field featuring Shalane Flanagan. The course is composed of three loops and concludes at the Boston Marathon finish line. For more information read the previews by DtB, Team USA Minnesota, and the B.A.A.Yes/No: Will Carrie Tollefson run 4:35.00 or faster in the B.A.A. Invitational Mile on Sunday?
Note: Carrie Tollefson is well known by Minnesota distance running fans. A champion at every level, Carrie won 13 state high school championships, five NCAA championships and three USA championships and was an Olympian in 2004. She holds lifetime bests of 4:27 in the mile and 4:06 in the 1500. As reported earlier on DtB, Carrie is coming off 2 frustrating years fighting injuries but appears on the comeback trail in 2009.

My Answer: No
Last week's Yes/No question was decided by the slimmest of margins. Aaron Studt threw a mere one centimeter less than the Yes/No appointed distance and therefore the correct answer -- by an eyelash! -- was "No." Only 5 people answered correctly, but one of those was the leader of the contest - Kyle Serreyn - who is moving away from the pack slightly.

Good luck and thanks for playing Yes/No on DtB!
