It's a beautiful day for a race and next up is the most anticipated event of the day, the 5000 meter finals. Each of our competitors has been training for months for this one event, putting weekly mileage totaling in the dozens! This 12 1/2 lap journey is a test of endurance and willpower - With a waterstop every 200m just in case any of our athletes becomes fatigued. Of course, lanes 1 and 2 are closed, slightly altering the distance, but who's paying attention to time anyways? In lanes 3 and 4 we have Facebook Hero and Accessory Guru. Lanes 5 and 6 are occupied by Fitness Freak and Suburban Mom. Next to them is Stroller Dad and last but not least, rounding out our competitors is our very own Mike in San Diego. The official is giving the commands...Bam! They're off!
How does the race play out?
