I finished the race in 41:30! That’s my best time yet!
A very large (tall, not fat), very exuberant man who I kept passing and who kept passing me for the first part of the race (and who I did eventually pass for good) came up to me afterwards and just gushed about how well I did. “I kept trying to pass you, but I just couldn’t! You did really, really good! I used to run All-State, back in high school, but I couldn’t catch you!” He made me grin.
Good day.
