28th The Boilermaker 15K, Utica NY

If someone wants a challenge,this is the place (for us flat landers.) It had over 11,000 particpants.It starts out on a narrow 2-lane street and while you are waiting the Kenyons stand on an upgrade to your left. It gives you a feeling on seeing the Gods on My. Olympis.Then we start and by the time you get to that starting line, the Kenyans have already done mile one, and then some.But the whole city comes to this party! This year for the fourth year in a row, West Utica won a free block party as they were voted by the runners to have the most spirit along the sidelines (they have the most music, including a guy with bagpipes). It ends in the best finishing area, at the brewery. By then you are very (happily) tired after climbing the gruesome hill around the golf cousre, going past the Llama that watches us from the zoo, probably thinking that movement of all those people very odd. He is out there every year, probably chuckling to himself that he is glad he is not involved in whatever is going on. After the Llama, say good-bye to the shade and for the most part, the uphills. There are a few bumps, but after you get past the golf course, its nice, open and down. Then you get to the finish with its ornate arch...and the brewery is there. It is the best after race party, with entertainment, and a military fly over that people just love along, with fireworks.As John Mac said during the part,"If there ever was a party made for JSRC, this is it! Kenyans win and nobody can pronouoce their names. A Tazmanian snuck in this year as second male but other than that it was a Kenyan wall of winners.

The day before I did the 8K walk, most strolled but their was some competition for racewalking, about a dozen or so. Beautiful course, but I am returning to the 15k next year as it is more scenic and with my pace, I can still manage to get the course completed without bringing in the last of the runners.

The night before was the Long Distance Hall of Fame Induction. It is free and very nice. We are blessed to be involved with an activity that have so much talent and give back so much. The free pasta Satruday night at Carmellas is wonderful.Have to show your bib number.

We have already made our hotel reservations for next year! Pictures will be coming. Deana and Norm
