TJ 31 Results

A quick recap and official results of today's Toe Jam 31 Half Marathon. We DOUBLED participation numbers from last year. Whoa!!!!! More, the overall male and female champions pulled of rare repeats, besting their respective times in the process!

SOMEBODY ALERT THE MEDIA.


Seriously, it was the 31st consecutive running of the 13.1 miles formerly known as the hardest half anywhere. We do it 'unofficially' simply to keep the streak alive. I mean, really, name me something else that has run for thirty-one consecutive years. That is good enough for us, although it was mentioned at the post race awards ceremony that if any more people show up for pizza and beer we might have to charge an entry fee.

GADZOOKS! (interesting etymology here)

Toe Jam 31 OFFICIAL results:

RCVman 1:41:12 (-9 from TJ30)
Bob Porter: 1:51:12 (off course but legal-more on this later)
Stephanie Huey Rohl: 1:59:02 (PR on this course)
Kerry Combs: 2:11:43 (Courageous effort from the Dr.)
EJ: 2:34:12 (was in California for spring break)
Laura (our only walker and overall walk champion)

There is the quick recap. We all agreed that a good time was run by all. More commentary (if you dare) tomorrow.

in fairness to EJ, I think you should have mentioned that he has only run twice in the past three years and walked in from south beach. however, it is true that his running does suck which explains his devotion to it.
