5 K Nut Race Reactor Park, 9:00 a.m. Feb. 3, 2007 Temp: 8 degrees F, Wind 15 MPH, Sunny | ||||
Thirty certifiably insane runners toed the starting line, got the gun, and took off heading south on the 5 K loop course. A half mile later, cold reality set in when they headed north up the hill on Providence Road and the wind, Mariah, took over for the next half mile. Over three + loops, the lead went back and forth between Matt Dreier and Marc Keys with Dreier slowly pulling away for an 8 second gap and the win in 17:25. The youngest runner, John Moreton age 12, ran a great race, winning his age group and finishing 23rd overall in 26:23. The senior runner, Jim ODell, won his age group (60+) in 32:04, a particularly impressive showing given Jims recent return to racing after a considerable layoff. Allison Hodgson and Jaira Grathwohl battled for first overall woman with Alison winning in 21:17 for 10th overall. The record temperature is 1 F, so we did not set any new records in that department this race. A very special thanks to Tom Allen, Joe Duncan, Anne Hessler, Dan Hooley, Linda Lafontaine, and Jim Linville for helping with the race management. The weather and what must have been a 25-year old Top Flight note pad that literally shredded in the wind, separating some names from ages made timing and scoring a real challenge, but the team functioned flawlessly.
