GETRACING.ORG's most recent successful event on July 4th saw 550 plus runners starting their holiday weekend with a 5K run. Jose Marin (42 male from McKinney) earned the top spot and $100 with a 17:38. Finishing in 21:07 Lara Sormunen (17 from McKinney) was the first female. Sixty of these athletes participated in a race-within-a-race by bench pressing 80% of their body weight after completing the 5K earning 10 second decrease in their finish time for every repetition lift. Don Crawford (50) did the most repetitions with 37 to win the 50-59 age group. Michael Berry (37) ended up with the fastest adjusted time (14:44) with his 31 reps.
