2.0 miles @ ~7:54 min/mi

"Thank you!" gasps the fast runner, surprised that Roadkill moves out to Lane 2 to let her pass on the inside. This evening's 2 mile race at Gaithersburg High School is slower than 2009-2012 (13:42 + 13:53 + 14:31 + 14:30) but faster than 2018 (16:08) — official time 15:48, good for 3rd of 5 in the male 65-69 age group, and overall 84th of 125 finishers. If 20 pounds lighter, would Roadkill be 80 seconds faster?

Friendly arch-rivals Tom & Igor opt for earlier & later heats, respectively. Photos by the inimitable Reichmanns; finger positions by Roadkill encode in binary the lap count.
