The 27th version of the annual Be-A-Walker Predicted-time race was a 3K in Roe Park with a nice temperature (about 65) and field of 14 walkers. They included four who were in a 5K version 15 years earlier (2005).That list included Eileen McManus, Julie Haller, BJ Thornburg and Pam Felton. Once again the winner was not the fastest walker (just barely) when newcomer David Eisenburg burst through in the last few meters to come in first with a 75.1% age-graded finish. But another relative newbie, Lori Groom, took the Gold by coming in just 2 seconds faster than her pre-race prediction. Of course, her strategy included stopping for awhile to tie her shoes. The second place predictor was also amazingly close to her prediction. Julie Haller was just 3 seconds off her prediction, which was close to her 4 second margin in 2006 when she was the Gold medalist in the 5K race.

Thanks to those who made this edition go smoothly, including Charlotte, Maggie, John, and Fred. Details will be posted in Results.
