It was a beautiful, yet cool and windy, morning to run this morning. There was a decent turnout for this race in Pontotoc, MS.
The runners are waiting for the gun to go off.
Martha started this season almost where she finished last season -- a very fast 22:16 -- a speed that won her the award of 1st female overall. One of Ms. Heather's runners from Blue Mountain College, Tuesdae, came in 2nd female overall (1st in her age group);and Catherine came in 3rd female overall (1st in her age group).
Alec had a very fast first race of the season (especially good for this hilly course) with a time under 26:00. I do not have his official time yet and someone was blocking the clock in the picture I took, but I found out later that it was 25:55. Macain and Brandon finished 1st and 2nd in their age group and were only seconds apart at the finish. Brandon's time was 23:13 and Macain was a little ahead of him. Josh finished third in his age group and was super fast today. It was fun to watch all of our runners today.
Kirsten finished with a respectable time of 28:22. We expect good things out of her this season.
The kids were all waiting on the awards and the door prizes.
Austin -- another of Ms. Heather's BMC runners -- won 1st place overall with a super fast time of 16:43. This was not his personal best, but he said he was pleased as this course is difficult.Ms. Heather was well represented by her college runners and her homeschooled runners. We missed her today as she was running a race in Memphis.
