“Farm people do such things”: David Prescott enjoys his first marathon Talahasi – Talahasi Democrat

The race on Sunday was his seventh marathon.

“I couldn’t refuse a marathon, where the starting line was five minutes from my front door,” said Protes, which is an average of 6:26 division and works remotely for Leidos, an innovation company based in his home country Virginia. “The course is really hilly, so I’m quite pleased with the effort. It’s hard, but the look gives me a sense to go.

“It’s a goal, I’m just trying to get faster and faster.”

Katie Sherren Famous Face on the Local Racing Stage

Meanwhile, Shern is a finished runner and a well -known person in local competitions.

However, there was a degree of uncertainty about the level of competition in the half -marathon. Sherron exchanged small conversations on the launch line with Lisa Hart from the Winter Garden. The duo was not known, but it had come for the first eight miles.

Sherron then bet and hoped Hart would not call her a bluff.

“I don’t have a quick kick at all, so I felt I was going to make a move. That was the moment,” said Shern, who average 6:00 sections and finished second in last year’s half -marathon. “My plan was to go (the next) mile as quickly as possible, knowing perfectly well that I didn’t have the ability to support it at all. But she didn’t know it.

“I had to press my luck and he turned out to be,” when Hart, 35 -year -old, ended a minute behind Shernne and ranked second in the Women’s Division.
