Zach DeVeau won by a ton. When the FSU graduate student crossed the finish line at the "Home Is Where The Hope Is" 5K, you still couldn't see the second-place runner. DeVeau's 18:42 put him almost 400m ahead of runner-up Caleb Pate, who ran 20:02 on the 5K course around the Florida State University campus. After a third-place showing at the Hurricane 5K on Monday, Dena Welden returned to the roads on Saturday and won the women's division in 22:09. The top master runner was Duane Evans at 22:58, and the fastest woman master was Connie Clarke at 27:18.
The "Home Is Where The Hope Is" 5K was held on an out-and-back course that started at 9:00am on Saturday, 11 September 2010 outside FSU's Tully Gym on Chieftain Way. (I know the street signs say "Chieftan," but I refuse to bow to illiteracy.) The race is organized by Florida State University Habitat For Humanity, who also host an annual spring 5K.Links:

Such a great cause (Habitat for Humanity) - thanks for writing up the race AND for not bowing to illiteracy!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Paula! I think I'm fighting on the losing side in the Chieftain vs. Chieftan battle, though. Even Google maps only recognizes "Chieftan Way," further cementing the reputation of Tallahassee's largest institution of higher learning as being run by a bunch of yahoos who can't even spell a street name correctly.

I finally got to meet Herb, whom I covered as a sportswriter when he was in high school (not to make us BOTH feel really old).
ReplyDeleteCan't believe he covered two races Saturday!
Great photos, and thanks for the extra one at the end :-)
That's a pretty hilly course. I guess most runs on campus are tough, other than maybe the FSU cares 5k. Great job covering both races - your new camera is great.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mark! I enjoyed catching up a bit after the race. Maybe we'll have another chance at some future event, altho' I have to admit that post-race is a little more relaxed when I'm running instead of trying to figure out what happened!

Cole,
ReplyDeleteIf I recall correctly, the original FSUCares course was designed by Joe Dexter to be a net downhill run, starting at Westcott atop Gallows Hill and finishing on the much lower west end of the FSU campus. But yeah, most of the campus courses seem to run you up Gallows Hill or some other incline. But looking at the pictures of you guys coming down the hill on Pasco Street at the Sickle Cell 5K--well, you had to get to the top of that hill somehow!
Herb.
