Stephen ran in the Doggie Dash 5K this morning at Southwood in Tallahassee. He finished 1st in his age group and 3rd overall with a time of 18:52. According to Stephen, he was well out in second place when he and the first place runner were led astray by the lead bicycler. Stephen said when he realized the lead bicyler had gone the wrong way he turned around and went back down the hill towards the pack of runners following him. He thinks he lost somewhere around 20 seconds, but isn't sure. Stephen's account is supported by Herb Wills' article on the Doggie Dash.
We'll see if that's the case when Stephen runs in the Autism 5K next week. That course is substantially the same as today's course.
