And The Results Are In...

Results from my first 1/2 marathon, the Potomac River Run are in!!!

The top 3 winners are:

MOST PATIENT FRIEND AWARD goes to....Mrs. Tori Watson 

  • This was Tori's 3rd 1/2 Marathon and showed only respect and encouragement (until mile 11...) during the race.  She stuck by me the entire time with her motivation and steady pace...and allowed me to walk more than I'd like to admit.  This race is dedicated to you, Tori!! (See picture below:)

ACTUAL WINNER AWARD goes to...Mr. Weston John Spece, I

  • Wes is my younger brother and a stellar athlete.  He ran cross country in high school and at Longwood University and has not slowed down one bit.  He truly proved his talents by passing Tori and me at the halfway point (did I mention that I made Tori start 30 minutes early?) and finished 3rd in his age division, and 13th overall!!!                                                        

LEAST PREPARED AWARD goes to...Me 

  • I earned this award by doing the obvious-training every 4th day, believing adrenaline would carry me through and maxing out my training regime at 6 miles prior to the race.   

Don't just be entertained...help me get there!
