Races for three weekends in a row. This weeks event was the tail of the lizard 2 mile race. It is run in conjunction with it's older brother the "eye of the dragon" which is a 10K (6.2 miles) race. The unique thing about this one is it includes a Florida mountain. It goes over the Eau Gallie Causeway and back.
All 5 of us ran the race and the guys all brought home hardware. They had some really cool plaster geckos for trophies. Ian was 3rd in his age group and Hank was 2nd in his. I won 2nd place overall, losing to a 14 year old by 1 second in 13:15. I felt a little guilty because most of the more competitive runners in my age group ran the 10K but I wanted to be at the finish when Chenna came across and there is no way I could do the 10K and make it in time.
Chenna came in a very respectable 7th in her age group in a time of about 25 minutes. Cherie ran with Ian so she was not out to place, although I believe she could have if she had run the race alone. See the complete results at http://mahoney4.home.netcom.com/scr/races/08dragon.txt. Scroll down a ways, the first half are the 10K results.
