Sunset Classic 5M
I got to meet Bill Rodgers tonight after the Sunset Classic 5M in
Bloomfield. He was signing autographs after the race and actually
spedning time talking to people. He spent a good 5 to 10 minutes with
everyone, answering questions, giving advice, and just talking about
running in general.
He signed my race bib and we talked about the course and his diet. He
really did put mayo on pizza. Hellman's. Had to be Hellman's. As he put
it, "When you're burning 5000 calories a day, you're hungry."
It was a pretty good race, I kept pace with the second place female
finisher for almost the whole race, with number 3 not far behind. In the
last 200 meters or so they both took off and I finshed a few seconds
behind them.
After the race I thanked the girl I had been running with for making me
push myself a little harder than I planned, and congratulated her on her
placing.
I also made some new friends from work. I met most of the company's
running team after the race and we talked about running and stuff. Most
of them are in other divisions of the company so I had never seen them
before tonight.
