Steve Holman's first-ever sub-4:00 was 3:53.31,but since I'm on the road,
don't have access to such details as to what his previoius best was. Holman
is only other American to run 3:53 in his debut sub-4:00 (based on the list
on the T&FN website). Internationally, could be a pointless question because
there may well be somebody who was already a 3:33 type 1500 guy and had never
run a mile before running 3:50ish.
