Goldstein laid off the pace, then surged past early leader Reuben J. A. Stoby to win the Blenheim Trust 5K Carrot Bay Classic on Saturday March 19, 2016 in a course record time of 16 minutes, 50.1 seconds.

For Stoby, who was second in 17:23, it was his second successive setback after Vincent Fournier took the opening race of the series in Road Town.

"It was a great race and he took it out hard and was giving me a little fear," Goldstein said. "I passed him after the hill-a bigger hill than I thought it would be. The grade coming back was not as bad as I expected it and I was able to get on top of it really well and I was able to push to the finish."

Goldstein thanked his coach John Smith for preparing him over the winter. "This was a great opener," he said. "Now, I have to start preparing for track."

Before the race, Stoby said Goldstein told him he was a sub 17 minute runner over 5K. "I knew I was going to be up against some competition," Stoby said. "It's a pity I wasn't able to go with him to push myself a little bit more, but I wasn't in top top shape. I think I may have taken it out too hard trying to set the pace. I wanted to go hard, see if I could make a break away but he didn't bite that one," said Stoby who held the course record of 17:41.

Women's winner Rosmond Johnson who's recovering from the flu and ran 22 minutes even, said it was a challenging race. "At one point I thought I wouldn't pull through but I did, thank God," she said. "On the hill coming back, I felt a little shortness of breath so I stopped, caught my breath and then I went again. I pulled through and I won."

The race was something Vanessa King always wanted to do, but as a new mommy she decided to use the race to get back in shape. "I always wanted to do it so I decided to take an item off my bucket list," she said. "It was tough for me as a newbie but I enjoyed it. I liked that the course was by the water and you had the sea breeze and it wasn't hot. I also liked that we had the challenge of a hill and it wasn't just flat and I liked the spirit of the runners. They cheered you on."
