The race was on 4/15/12 on West River Drive in Philadelphia. There was a 10k and a 5k race that both started out at the same time, at 10am. I ran the 10k which was an easy out and back course. The group stayed together until the 5k turnaround and then just the 10k runners still had another 2.5 miles until our turnaround.
I finally caught up to someone I know from FRC at the turnaround. I stayed with him for a little while and then had to increase my speed. I saw Steve Hamilton and Mike Alleruzzo when I was on my way back towards the Art Museum. Steve screams out Bennett your # 14, so I had to see if there was any chance of picking up my pace.
So I tried to increase my speed but there wasn't that much I could do but just hang on and try to let others pass me at the finish.
I was really happy with my results finishing 13th overall. 12 Male. 1st Male in my new age group. Time of 40:20
Also Carolyn Gray and John won awards for their age groups too!!
Here is our finish picture with our medals.
