Running early? (5,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

false start

(Other definitions for false start that I've seen before include "Unsuccessful beginning" , "may lead to total recall" , "In which runner is seen to have jumped the gun" , "In which someone jumps the gun" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
