All - I shamed my family this past weekend in the local Turkey Trot 10k - after quite the battle with a few other runners, crossed the line in first place only to find out I was beat out by 10s by some guy who finished a few minutes later....I'm relatively new to running (and the feeling of deep devastation), but shouldn't overall placements in a race be based on gun time vs. chip time? My wife did not let me sleep at home so I want to make the case to her that I am, in fact, the local turkey trot champion.
-cold and confused.
