Are the tracking devices in their bibs? Joe mentioned having his GPS on this morning, but I can't imagine that everyone in the race has one in order to be tracked.

GO JOE!

@squinney,
I'm not sure where the trackers are - but you can follow (if you whizsnappier than I am) all of the runners whose bib numbers you know.

You can track 3 for free here

FASTER than a speeding bullet;
more powerful than a locomotive,
able to leap large crowds, at a single bound !

@ehBeth,
That's the site we're talking about, ehBeth.
Mine wouldn't open, figured it was my computer, just rebooted, so glad to see it was the site and not me.

@Region Philbis,
Like. yesterday ... or today and you are already home?

Congrats on the timing!

I'd signed up for a 5K here on Saturday but it ended up being 40 degrees and raining. My knees don't do that combo.

@squinney,

thanx!
the race was this morning @ 10.

yeah, cold + rainy is no fun.
we had a rainy 5k last year, but it was milder.
today was ~ 41F -- a tad chilly, but not too bad...

@Region Philbis,
Did mah 3rd best of the year, 4th best all-time.
RP did the 5K in 26:13.
I was third from last (we're an elite group o' slow people) at 41:17.

I won a pint drinking glass in the post-race raffle and am now rewarding myself with some lovely Tylenol.

Go Joe and Thomas, go!

@JPB,
Oh good (I've been off doing other stuff). I'll sign in to it again.
Oh, no I won't (due to high volume, etc...)
Will try again later.

@Izzie,
Thanks, Iz.

Oooh, something like a 9.7 minute mile at 5k, and something like 10.6 minute mile at the half. Yeppers.

Check my math, please.
