A last minute add to my busy schedule - Ferrell emailed that he was doing it, and the SCTC was putting it on - it sounded like a good way to start a Sunday. Even though, I'd done ~25 miles of running, mostly above 10,000 ft elevation, over the past 3 days and wondered if I needed a rest day. Actually, it all worked out very well.

No, not a Big Check... it's the course map - still quite lovely

I want one of those red shirts this year

Piet and Rick have had some classic battles in past years

At the start line - a study in blues and grays

John Hofacre - destined for hardware in my age group

Yaron - veteran of my Astro 28 adventures, also did well

At the finish, Boston Marathon mega-veteran and former mayor Katherine Beiers, Sue Dunn and Trish of the track club

Rick and Rick, a little the worse for wear, but otherwise identical to the first shot

Ferrell took home first place in his age group - well done!

 

Here's the results
