This year was different than previous years - no raffle, no youngest participant, and no largest immediate family. That meant all turkeys had to be won by speed alone. However, we still had a good showing. My mom and Julia both got turkeys, as did all 5 of my younger brothers (it helped that no one was in the same age division). My dad and I both got turkeys, and Bella would have if she hadn't forgotten to wear her bib. Total turkey count: 9. Mary won a pie - which was donated.
My splits were 4:48. 4:55, 5:14, and 5:10 (total 20:07). I went for the glory, and it cost me. Second place caught up to me around a mile in, and I held on for another mile before dropping back. First place was 19:15, and second was 19:42.
