Trek the Trace 2-Mile Series

Trek the Trace 2-Mile Series - Week 3
August 21, 2007

Trek the Trace Series Race #3
 
The Pine Belt Pacers Trek the Trace Series Race #3 is now officially over.  It was a great race... and of course it was run under temperatures in the 3-digits again!  We had another good turn out with 10 kids running the 1/2 mile run and 18 walkers and runners participating in the 2-mile predicted time race.  We had a couple of new faces in the event.
 
In week 3 we returned to the original format in which everyone predicts his/her time and the one closest to his/her guess wins the running shoes.  Ginny Dufrene nailed her time and won the first place prize.  She predicted 15:25 and finished in 15:25.   Close behind came last week's winner Mark Filbey who was just 3 second off his predicted time.  Steve Phillips finished third (4 seconds off) while Chad Dufrene and David Beckett shared the fourth position (8 second off).  Pine Belt Pacers rookie, Haynes Haselmaier, finished sixth overall in his first race as a club member.  After this event, Terry Lawhead keeps leading the Grand Prix standings in the men's open division 3 points ahead of Raul Anzola and 7 ahead of Keith Barrett.  In the women's category Audrey the Gazelle Jackson is the leader being followed by Sheryl Irongirl  Chatfield and Donna Smiley Sumrall. 
 
As always we enjoyed great food and beverages after the race.  Thanks to Audrey, Becky, Hollie, Keith, and Irongirl Sheryl for the great organization.  Sorry, not pictures this week!  Someone forgot his camera in home this time!  See you next week.  We hope we can have there everyone who has run any of the races in the 2007 series (around 40!
 
The highlight of the day was the kid's Fun Run.  The 1/2 mile event took place at 6:00pm.  Aubrie Ware, Grace Sanders, Elizabeth Lawhead, Katelyn Lawhead, Luke Logan, Chad Filbey, Aaron Hilpp, Jacob Hilpp, Douglas Lawhead and his mom lined up at the start line and were ready for the challenge.  They went off really really fast!!!  Everyone did great and had a smile at the end!  All of them were winners, received their medal proudly, and were off to enjoy some delicious popsicles.
