A couple of interesting duels at this week's 5K race:

• Barbara McManus (18:55) defeated Travis Thompson with a sprint in the final home stretch, to win first place overall.
  
• And Richard Hunt (27:45) outkicked Marta Carlson by an equally slim margin.

... Did you know this year is the 10th anniversary of the CMS web site? Here's a clip from 1997's CMS 5K #6: "Over 83% of the field consisted of age 40+ runners."

Still true 10 years later -- over 85% of this week's competitors were over 40. (... Although they weren't all age 50+, of course. Some were, some weren't. Math class is hard.)
