The first ever Slow Poke 5K was held in Philadelphia, Mississippi on August 5, with a good crowd for a first race. This race was in memory of Johnny Bradley, a well-known race walker who was killed in a biking accident. After a few instructions from MTC race director, Jack Ward, we were off and running. James Johnson took the early lead and went on to win the race. Jill Miller was the first female finisher. Mark Lipking and Natalie Dunn were the Masters winners, and Phillip Wedgeworth and Sandra Lewis won the Grand Masters. Samuel Martin was the winning race walker. Nancy Dykes, a retired English Professor and good friend, was the female winner. Forgoing his usual race walking at MTC events, Nestor Raul Anzola, also known as the fastest Columbian in Hattiesburg, ran today and set a PR with a time of 22.10. Ray Martin also represented the Pine Belt Pacers by coming in second in his age group. This was a fairly challenging course with a few hills, but the heat was the biggest challenge. Even though the race started at 7:30 instead of the usual 8:00 for most races, the temperature was very hot. When I finished and saw the EMTs and the ambulances, I thought that we would be lucky if nobody needed them today, and our luck held out. After the race we had plenty of fruit, cookies, doughnuts, and water. This was a great race and everyone needs to come out and support it in the future.
