Veterans and San Antonio Marathons

On Saturday Theo Bosch and Roger Ison ran the Veterans Marathon in Columbia City, Indiana. On a perfect day Theo ran 3:31 and Roger 3:35.

Meanwhile in San Antonio, Texas the weather wasn't quite as cooperative. 94% humidity greeted runners among them, Rick and Tracy Maclean and Keith Lascelles. After a rediculous line up for busses to the start, the wait for the start began. There didn't seem to be a lot of support at the start, no drinks, food etc.they made up for it on the course, including a Guiness beer stop about 6k in (maybe a little early for that). The course overall was rather blah, downtown was nice running by the Alamo. THe heat became a factor early and the humidity was thick enough to cause a lot of casualties. Rick, Tracy and Keith's times were all off by at least 30 minutes. Keith finished in 3:46, Rick in 4:37 and Tracy 5:43. Despite the weather , and times a good time was had by all. The steak dinner after would was worth it.
