Eric and the 15k

Eric recently travelled down south in his quest for the Indy Mini to run the 15k portion of the racing series. He finished second overall with a time of 50:11, right behind former Bulter University star (and sub-14 5k guru), Thomas Frazer. The pace went out fast rolling 5:19's through the start of a semi-wet course from the nights rain before. Former Taylor University star Gabrielle Rop was also in the race, but unfortunately his shoe laces came untied around the mile mark and he was forced to slow to tie them, thus throwing him off pace. Eric paced a 32:06 on the six mile mark and crossed the 10k in 32:48, making him wonder the accuracy of the course mile marks. In the end his side cramped slightly and Frazer took full advantage leaving him ninteen seconds back, but a full fifty seconds ahead of his teamate Olly Laws (another Butler stud). No t-shirts were given, but a hefty seventeen dollars was shelled out to the race organizers. Good thing Panera bagels where at the finish for him.
