The results for the Rosie's Garage Almost 5K are now online. I had to know how many people ran the race and more importantly how many runners were in my Age Group, M 40-44. As you remember my son teased me that I got 3rd place out of 3. Well....
The total field was 169 runners. I finished 18 over all. Just outside the top 10%.
The M 40-44 was 10 runners. That puts me in the top 30%, cool.
My official time was 21:02. 2nd place was 19:51. 4th was 23:02. I met and talked to him after the race and didn't even realize until now that he was 4th in our age group.
I'm pretty convinced that I achieved the Age Group win due to the Almost 5K distance. The less than standard distance probably kept the super competitive, sub-elites home or at another race. Whatever, I've got the medal! So there Bryan, I wasn't 3rd out of 3, just thought you'd like to know.

Darrell, you are pretty cool. I've been consumed with my own doing and have fallen behind. You've had a busy weekend.
The medal is a great momento - a lasting emblem to your accomplishment! I'm so glad for you.
As to Bryan...kids are funny. They know the perfect time to push the 'humble-him-now' button!
Us old guys are fast!
All the more reason to celebrate! Top 30% and 10% are great places to land, regardless of how big or small the field.
Congratulations.
You gotta set the record straight sometimes for sure.
We are still on for a meetup for Seafair. Since the bigger things on my schedule are going to disappear I am really looking forward to Seafair. When you are ready to plan send me an e-mail from my profile and let me know if you would prefer to maybe get together the night before or maybe go out after the race. I don't know how you feel after a race so it is up to you. I just need to plan so I can make sure my kiddos are taken care of.
We knew it was legit.
Those are some excellent stats! Be proud!
woo hoo, yay!
Awesome job! That's a FANTASTIC time!!
