12/4-5 Race Reports

First off, the Jingle Bell Run was actually a 5K this year... out and back down Hillsborough St... marked to the exact fire hydrant... AWESOME. Second, there were 1700 people running/walking... which means 3400 ringing bells... EVEN MORE AWESOME. And finally, TAF Racing rocked... WICKED AWESOME! Keith was first across the line for us, running a 17:38, which earned him 1st in his age group (8th overall). Jennifer took off at the start, and remained out front, claiming 2nd female overall. Rita (1st AG) and I (3rd female) followed about a minute later, finishing within 1sec of each other... I'm getting Rita some super glue for her shoe laces! Dave was right with us too, sprinting across the finish line despite turning his ankle on Wed (he was 4th in his age group). The NCSU Club XC Team was also out there, and Scott H. was 1st overall (CONGRATS!). We also saw John Tate and some of our friends from the Fit-tastic and Half Marathon Training Programs. It was a great race... and Mrs. Beard made us some delicious brownies... THANK YOU TEAM MOM!. (results) #20
