Tewksbury 5 Miler: Holy Cow!
Writing by Kat on Sunday, 7 of October , 2007 at 6:08 pm
Well my friends, the Tewksbury 5 Miler this morning was everything I thought it would be… and more!! The small crowd was a good and generous crowd. The morning started with a one-mile fun run, followed by the big show: five miles split between cross country terrain and country paved roads.
The first mile absolutely flew by, although it was nearly all uphill. The second mile leveled out a bit and I was shocked when I turned the corner to mile three and saw seven or eight cows staring at me over a fence. That wasn’t the only surprise mile three had to offer: this section was all uphill and it was a hard hill to climb. I had to walk it, I’m too lazy! Miles four and five were mostly downhill, however, we traversed two small pedestrian bridges and an area comprised of mostly tree roots and rocks. Runners had to really watch where they were going!
Now, for the results: The overall winner, Dominick Grillo, finished in 29 minutes and 25 seconds and actually returned and ran the last quarter mile alongside yours truly. For the ladies, it was Heather Gracie-Petty that took home the gold with a time of 34 minutes and 4 seconds. As for me, I finished second in my age group… but don’t be too proud: there were only two women in my age group!! That’s a little secret we can keep amongst ourselves!
