Part of this should actually be a race report, but I really just cruised around the awesome Fl XC State Meet course one more time for the year. The cool parts of the day far outweighed my running. The Tannenbaum Trail 6K at the ARP was won in 19:35 by multi time olympian from Canada and current running shop owner in Tally, Kevin Sullivan. Lisa and Cynda volunteered at the finish line, Travis tended to the pup and cheered everyone on, and I ran right at 7:30 pace, crushing my goal of sub-30 minutes :) Following the race, things got reallllly fun and interesting. We went to one of our favorite spots for brunch with one of Trav's buddies and fam. As we were finishing up, I glance at the entryway and in walks Bernard Lagat! I got Trav's attention and told him to look at door - his jaw literally hit the table. We had heard from Trav's coach that Lagat may be in town for his sister's graduation. Viola Lagat ran for FSU past couple years and graduated last night. Travis and Chase got up the nerve and went over to chat a minute while he and Viola waited for a table. Then, on our way out, they got a pic with him...  |
