A Race

Past results at the Father's Day 8K in Georgetown led me to believe that if I could flirt with a PR I could finish in the top 10. This year 17 people finished under 30 minutes; local hard-man Michael Wardian was 3d*, and British Olympic marathoner Claire Hallisey was 9th. So my personal fourth-best time was good enough to finish in the top 30. Nice race on a beautiful evening.

*Wardian has run this every year and has never won. Why? Not sure what he was doing this year, though I did overhear him saying he's running 100 next weekend. Last year he ran a ~2:17 marathon in Minnesota on Saturday, then came home to run this one the next day. Take that guy Dean Karnazes, make him fast, and you have Wardian.
