This year's foot race was almost the exact opposite of last year's race. The course started in the middle
of Pioneer Park on the south end of the island. The goal was then to make it home using any route you
wanted.
I think we all chose the pretty standard route along Island Crest and then through the neighborhood
by the library. This is where I lost the race this year.
Gid and I were pretty neck and neck all the way up to Eric Westberg's house. When we ran by, his
Dad was outside sweeping the driveway. I decided to stop and chat with him a bit. It turned out
that Eric was also home so I actually went inside to talk with him as well. All in all, it turned
out that I lost about 20 minutes chatting. In this time, both Jon and Tim passed me and Gid claimed his
first victory of the foot race.
