Jacob ran in the Todd's Trot race today. It is a 5K road race held in honor of a Durham resident who tragically died during his freshmen year at West Point while running in the try outs for the military academy's marathon team. The race was extremely well organized and attracted 400 runners. They also had an extensive post-race selection of snacks and refreshments (which we all enjoyed - maybe not the best race etiquette!)
Jacob did a good job and finished 61st overall and 4th in his age group. He averaged a 7:03 minute mile. The overall finisher kept up a blistering pace and finished the race in 15:35 for a 5:01 minute mile. Imagine being able to run that fast!
I am proud of Jacob for competing in these races. I need to start taking some pictures though to brighten up these posts!
