During Sunday’s Miami Half Marathon, Ty McCormack was forced to make a strategic decision he’s never encountered in his many years of elite distance running. About eight miles into the race, the North Hall High graduate and Olympic Trials qualifier, noticed his shoelace was untied. Right in the thick of the top professional competitors in the 13.1-mile race, McCormack decided to keep running, instead of losing “20 or 30 seconds” it would take to re-tie his shoe.
