It was the Yonge Street 10K race today. All three boys ran and turned in impressive times but honours go to Tim who came 5th in the official rankings for his age. Which means he gets an award of some kind and he was only 20 secs away from winning $100! Pop Jim would be smiling. Chris is happy too because he beat Pip for the first time since 2006 (all that Marathon training!).
And Pip is happy because, after being out on the town last night and a surfit of chicken wings and beer, he managed to run at all!
Here are the official results:
Chris: 40mins 31 secs. Placed 323 out of 13,000 runners and 11th in his age category.
Pip: 42mins 23 secs. Placed 535 out of 13,000 runners and 32nd in his age category.
Tim: 43mins 43secs. Placed 751 out of 13,000 runners and 11th in his age category by "chip time" but 5th overall in the official race "gun time" and one of the 5 award winners.
So Pip has to look over his shoulder for Tim next year, by which time Tim will also be looking down on Chris judging by the height difference....
Love to all from Canada
