Run to Win

WCSH6 has starting line and finish line videos of the Beach to Beacon from this past Saturday. The starting line is one video, and they have the finish line seperated out in 5 minute increments.

The quality is not great, but you can hear your name announced (if they announced it) and you can make out your jersey as you come across if you know when and where to look. I looked at my finish at the end of the 30 to 35 minute video, and they actually announced that I was in a sprint finish with David Hunt of Fryeburg, Maine, and not Harry Norton of Hanover, New Hampshire.

Very neat, either way. I look forward to checking it out in more detail tonight when I have some time.

The 9^th annual Beach to Beacon 10k was this morning, and there were some fast times posted. Tom Nyariki prevented Gilbert Okari from winning for the fourth time in a row by running over 20 seconds faster, 27:48 to 28:09. Lawrence Kiprotich was just ahead of Okari in 28:04. Donny Drake won the Maine race in 31:16 after starting back around where I was in the field. Emily Levan repeated her performance from last year, winning the women’s Maine open race and coming through about 10 seconds faster than last year in 35:40.
