The unknown, but bless her soul, Mary, on the left or Karen (KB, kickbutt) Buttram ??
A timing error had Mary as the winner, for a while. She does look like she was ready for any weather, so props for being prepared. I think that's an umbrella in her left pocket, or lunch, or a book, or a tent or, but.................come on, we all know KB runs 10K's in the 7:30/mile zone. And they had Mary beating her by 5 MINUTES !!!
And I know we should not judge books by their flopping rain jackets, or their much too large cotton t-shirt, or or the fact that she looks much bigger in these photos. OK, I'll stop there
The Dawg Dash folks have seen the light, and fixed that standings. I hadn't looked at them for a while, but would have been equally upset had I been shoved off the podium ( I was 3rd) by Mary, bless her soul.
Many thanks to KB for bringing this to my attention and feeding the day's blog fodder. And congrat's on a well run race. Official time 46:19
Mine was 49:51 so I guess it is possible to be beaten by almost 4 minutes and not be totally off target. :)
I've been waiting for a time when I would be cool enuf to use the term 'props'.
Peace, out.

OH, I had a good laugh when I saw this and so happy I could help provide a blog topic for today! I was afraid I was whining too much to the timing company and being petty! But now I see that the other rightful podium occupants needed someone to stand up to this injustice and so really, I was only doing my duty.
