Thanksgiving 2008, Part IV

Race Results are finally in...

Erin, Phyllis and I ran in the Turkey Trot on Thursday morning. The results of the race remained a mystery for days, however, as the web site imploded on Thursday afternoon as 10,000 runners attempted to view their times.

Anyhow, here they are:

Erin ran the 5k in 28min, placing 26th in her age class (of 250 women aged 20-25), 160th by gender (of 1900+ women of all ages), and 519th overall (of 3300+ runners). That's a 8.75 min pace.

After 3.1 miles of -- rather unsuccessfully -- attempting to keep up with Erin, I took advantage of her having never ran this race before (and thus not knowing the route) and sprinted past her in the final .1 mile, finishing a whopping 1 second before her. Totally unsporting, I know.

Phyllis ran the 5k in 33min, placing 6th in her age class, 592nd by gender, and 1360th overall.

Nicely done ladies...
