What an excellent turnout for our first event. Ten runners and twenty plus spectators gathered at the hallowed Bedford Middle School track for this showdown. Fears of the men in blue were in the air yet that didn't stop first timer Jesse Gaylord from taking the W. It was a hard fought battle for the first three laps between Gaylord and other first timers, Rob Brink and Dan Goldberg. Yet on the final beer exchange/lap, Jesse's collegiate drinking and running prowess seemed to kick in. Performance of the day goes to Will Downey with his attempt to break the 14 minute barrier. Another stellar performance was had by Malcolm Watson with a strong fourth place finish, dropping his PR almost five minutes. Congrats to all who ran and we hope to see more of the spectators in their splits and flats during the next installment.
