Stephen (10K), Jacob (1 Mile) and Kappy (1 Mile) ran in the Rose City Run today. Stephen came in 11th overall and 2nd in his age group (14-19). Kappy came in 3rd in her age group (5-6). Jacob came in 33rd overall.
You can check out all of the 10K Results here and the 1 mile Results here.
Here is the article from the Thomasville Times Enterprise.
This is likely Stephen's last 10K for awhile as it ended even worse than the Springtime Tallahassee a couple weeks ago. As Stephen approached the 6th mile and started up the steep hill leading to the finish line he was in 4th place overall and about 200 meters ahead of the 5th place guy. His body then just started shutting down. With 200 meters left he started walking. I watched as he stumbled his way up the hill as a group of 4 or 5 runners closed in on him. He finally reached the top of the hill and tried to run again. After several feet he stopped and walked. With 30 meters left and another runner closing in on him Stephen trotted to the finish line before his body completely gave out. Stephen is not going to run in anymore 10K's until we get his recovery problems figured out.You can read more about the Rose City Run on Herb Wills' blog. Enjoy the pictures:
