I issued a challenge last night to try and beat our gym record of 36:12 held by Alan Lebovitz since 2012.

We had a great showing

Alan Lebovitz, Jody Bankston, Keith Gray, Rusty Gray, David Elliott, Michael Miller, Kim Ray, Kyle Haren, Will Kelley, PSC, Chris Curtis, Tom Rowland

The record fell and the grand prize of 1 roll of toilet paper (we will look back on this and laugh, but this is during the Coronavirus Pandemic and toilet paper is worth more than gold right now) was passed from Alan to Will graciously.

Will beat Alan’s previous time from 36:12 to a new record of 34:18. Outstanding work. I came in second with a 38:12 only because Patrick had an emergency poop attack conveniently next to the construction site that had a portable potty. That slowed him down enough to allow me to pass him and stay far enough ahead that he couldn’t catch up. I was pretty happy with the 38:12 which is only 1 minute off my best time ever on this course which was 37:12 in 2011. Now, 9 years later I am still competitive to that time and actually think I could beat it.

Patrick passed a defiant Alan and then Michael Miller came in next.

Everyone else was fairly close together and Dave Elliott furiously crossed the finish and then sprinted back to get his water bottle and jacket up the street.

We got some pictures in the park to remember this great day. I wore my Coronavirus protection suit. THisis just a prototype but I think millions of people will be wearing these next week.

Congratulations to Will Kelley on an amazing performance and congratulations to everyone who showed up today! Thanks! I needed the camaraderie at this tough time for everyone.
