Dahlgren Trail ½-Marathon
Above, David Marks and me stumbling into the finish. Below, Allen Vaughan and Stephen Fisher were both slower than me this day. Together we comprised the entire men’s over 70 category.
This was my 23rd & slowest ½-mara, (my 12th time on this course). I was 33rd of 38 men over 50, and 96th of 108 men. I blame painfully tight calves during the final third of the race. Windy, mostly sunny, 36°F, 18°C, Humidity 82%, Wind NW 7mph, UV 1, AT 33°F, Activity Feel 28°F.

In the Messiah
Somehow our friend Jane managed to pick me out from a choir of 60 and orchestra of 15 during our Messiah concert December 3rd, Fredericksburg. Even Nick thought that looked like him on violin, but no, that’s a stand-in. Notice the trumpeter, biding his time, until the trumpet shall sound.
Same piece, same place, opposite direction, the night before the concert.
Won the cup
Karen H and I each won a mug for placing in our age groups at the Fredericksburg Blue and Gray Half-Marathon. My 9:53 pace was better than several recent attempts at this distance.
