ran from home to millville and out the TOU course. my mission was to deliver a cold mountain dew to Steve Anderson. Unfortunately I never found him. Did get to cheer for Paul as he turned toward the millville hill. Then I stopped at the mile 17 aid station to wait for Steve. I almost missed Allie blasting past tucked in to the middle of a pack running at a really fast pace, fortunately I was able to see her and shout some words of encouragement just in time- great race Allie! Waited awhile for Steve, figured I must have somehow missed him as the runners were now coming by at about a 7:30 pace, so started jogging back down the course on the sidewalk, careful to stay off the course itself. Stopped to talk to a neighbor for awhile, then saw Keith Anderson come by, he had torn his calf and was in a lot of pain, but refused to quit since he has finished every tou since the first, he is one tough dude. Ran with him for a mile or so then came home, then spent the day building a tennis backboard for my son's eagle project. The 20% chance of rain took a bee line right for braegger park in Providence and parked there for 4 hours. wet and cold but we got it done, except for the final painting and finishing. |
