Nice weather for ducks ... and Englishmen

THREE MILE MARK
- Photo
01: What about this race? It was raining buckets
of water! This is Tobyoko Tanser in the lead pack.
- Photo
02: Rob Zand figured out how to keep his
shirt dry --- by not wearing it during the race!
- Photo
03: Erik Goetze figures, "I could have
been wearing one of those orange sample jackets?" Unfortunately,
those jackets have been found not to be perfect water-proof.

04: Isaya Okwiya

05: Michael Rumer (white top/yellow shorts),
Josh Feldman (topless/black shorts) & Alan Ruben.
Team loyalty required Alan to run this race instead of being with
his wife Gordon Bakoulis who ran the Utica Boilermaker
15K and finished as 2nd female masters ($$$).

06: Craig Chilton wore the white hat that
kept the rain out of his eyes.

07: Advantage should accrue to a triathlete like
Peter Allen on a day like today.
- Photo
08: James Siegel has this game plan, "I'll
be back in my bed by noon." This race has an 8am start
to make sure that the runners did not miss the rain.

Road Race in Atlanta on Wednesday

TWELVE MILE MARK
FINISH LINE

Photo
42: Rob Zand set a personal best today.
His diary entry: "1:11:55 (PR) --- 5:39, 5:24, 5:28, 5:26,
5:37, 5:18, 5:39, 5:28, 5:30, 5:21, 5:31, 5:27, 5:34, :27.
Rainy, causing ideal temperatures, although a few large puddles.
Felt strong at the end of the race, like I could have kept going
at this pace. Noticed a similarity in feeling to the ends of
my long runs, somewhat tired but able to work through it and
maintain pace. Mostly ran alone. Was in a pack for the first
3 miles but broke from that pack when the lead pack broke up.
Picked off people throughout the race to finish 8th. My best
race in NYC, by far."
