1 mile warmup: I guessed 9 minutes?

Wow! There was an older gentleman making his way around the track slowly. I passed him on the inside - a few seconds later I realize he's still right behind me! He ran with me for maybe ten seconds which isn't much but I was very impressed. The best was seeing the competitive glint in his eye as he went from 6 to 10 mph in three seconds! Hope I didn't sound patronizing when I asked jokingly if he was going to run the next one with me. (he said no)
