Well, He Survived It…

Just one day following Steve Crowder’s (Fincastle, VA) tough run at Little Beaver State Park, he found out about a race that had a small cash purse not far from where he was visiting relatives.  Now, my personal experience that is tried and true is this: A man will do lots of dumb things for money or for women.  Steve’s actions on Sunday, August 31 confirm the former.  We all probably have a story regarding the latter…

So, on Sunday afternoon, Steve went to Pineville, WV for the Pineville Labor Day Festival 5K which began at 6PM.  This course proved a slight more forgiving as Steve won with a time of 17:04, outdistancing the next finisher by 1 minute 20 seconds.  Steve’s cash haul nearly covered gas and food expenses for him and his family on their weekend visit.  Steve admitted that back-to-back races aren’t his smartest move, but at least they were 5K’s and not marathons or ultras.  Steve has also promised (perhaps with crossed fingers) to not do it again.
