'Twas a cool and clear morning at the lake on the Sunday before Thanksgiving when a seasonally reduced crowd gathered to challenge other runners and their own personal demons. Registration was efficient and orderly, thanks to a bevy of experienced assistants and efficient new registration procedures. The runners were called to the starting line at five minutes before nine, where they were trained on which hand was their right (so that they could keep the lake on their right and not lose their way) and, almost precisely at nine, the race was started. Only one runner was caught flat-footed; Jack Zakarian, with many years of experience under his belt, expected this race, as had so many others in the past, to begin ten minutes late and thus started 30 seconds behind. No known records were broken, although personal bests might have been bested without fanfare. The runners dashed gallantly and gasping across the three finish lines, where several running the longer distances were heard to utter the words, 'Never again!' But surely these were words of the moment; those intrepid athletes will be at the lake next month or the month after chasing records, posterity or a finisher's ribbon. A good time was probably had by all.
