Race in the Park, May 7, 2011

Results

It was a beautiful day at Walnut Park; the predicted rain never materialized. Lee ran 22:38, placing 2nd in age. Rose ran 27:12, placing 3rd. Only 14 seconds behind her, Judi finished 6th. Other runners we saw included Bekkie Wright, Joe Poloquin, Brent Stratton, Jeannette Cyr (placed, probably 1st, at age 76), Tom Walsh (who crossed w/ Lee), Jerry Augustine, Chris Chisholm, Sue Leslie.

Lee ran both races but never did hook up w/ Rose and Judi. It was a crowded field; way more women ran in their race than men in theirs. Judi and Rose climbed the barrier to get onto the course while Lee entered the course from the back. He spent the whole race trying to find them. Anyway, they ran well!

Here are the pictures.
