The race, held in the streets of Eugene, Ore., and neighboring Springfield, was a lesson in patience for the chase pack, which included three Americans, Sara Hall, Keira D’Amato and Emma Bates, when they came through the first lap of the three-lap course. Immediately before the race, Hall asked her teammates if they wanted to work together should they find themselves running a similar pace. Both enthusiastically agreed, and they controlled the pace together in groups of two and three for portions of the race.
