The St. Nick Six (No Cash Prizes, Part Deux)

As you might recall, I ran the "Saint Nick Six" last year, a 6k, christmas-themed fun run that the nearby St. Joseph's church/school put on every year. I did it again this year with the same group of people and it was a lot of fun. Some might say it was even more fun. Gary and Tim didn't throw up this time. Monika and Amanda decided to do the 6k run instead of the 3k walk. I went from 7th out of 7 in my age group (20-24) to 8th out of 10 in my age group (25-29) and improved my time from 35:07 to 32:24 (roughly 8:45/mile?). I placed 95th out of 130 male runners compared to last year's 73rd out of 90 male runners. The race is getting pretty popular, apparently. Enough metrics. Here are some pictures:

This is the group of use before the race.

This is the race starting, and I'm wearing antlers and four little bells attached to the safety pins on my number-tag thing.

Coming up to the finish!

Celebrating as I cross the line!

Then celebrating with Amanda after she crosses the line.

Yaaaaaay! Ok, I should probably go back to working on finals and stuff.

But before I go. I should share the one mishap of the day. Gary made a mistake with his tag, rendering his time unrecorded. He then took off his shirt to celebrate the big finish. So, the only record that he finished the race is:



Bahaha....
