Old Man Strength! (Revised Results)

It was a beautiful day to run a 5k up in Sparta. Dave, Jeff, and Michelle ran the Krogh's Turkey Trot. As planned, Dave held onto Jeff's ass most of the the way and then made a move around the 2 mile mark. Being a downhill finish, gravity prevailed and it was a close finish. We are pleased with the results:
Dave - 18:21 chip (new post-high school PR - most unexpected) 3d 40-49 division
Jeff - 18:28 chip
Michelle - 28: 07 chip
A good time was had by all.
We will forever debate the whole net-chip timing system, as it seems you aren't racing the guy in front of you, you are racing some dude in the back of the pack with a faster net-time!

Wow, those are some awesome times.
Congratulations.

Dave said...

Thanks - it was totally unexpected.So throw up the Ashenfelter Results.... I can't find your time yet.

Bob said...

I am waiting for the official results. Talk about unexpected.

BTW, there should be no debate. Finishing position only should determine who gets the medals. Chip time is merely for your edification.

Otherwise, what stops someone from arriving 2 hours late to a race, running the now empty course and posting the fastest time of the day? Part of the challenge is beating your way through all those kids and dog walkers and all the other crap that goes on at a race.

Was Dave holding on with one hand or two? Just kidding. Holy crap, fast times!! Great job.
