Howdy Wild Mountain Runners
Bob who is still running (for WMR) well, dominates in his age division.
So, off he went. Pass Babiracki, ready for a challenge, but non came. Pass Junkerman. No challenge there either. In fact, Babs was going to be passing Junkerman shortly. Now, all that was between him and the finish was a half mile of road and Simon. Closing to within 40 yards of the now fading Simon, he heard a photographer on the pace car call out to Simon that *…Macias is only 40 yards back, and gaining!*
Macias thought, *Yes, I am, arent I?!* Pressing very hard, he made up those 40 yards in no time and passed Simon so quickly, that within a few strides he had opened up a five yard lead. There was less than a quarter mile to go and in that distance, Macias built up a 16 second, thanks to the big lead he had built up earlier when he surged, but Babiracki was coming on. Too late, though.
When all said and done, most everyone was pretty happy, Macias and Walker were very pleased with their wins. Simon was happy with his effort, and Junkerman had come up to him and apologized for the contact, which he explained was inadvertent.
And, thank God, It wasnt hot!
