2015 Tampa Bay Times Turkey Trot races attracted 17439 runners, walkers and other creatures who enjoyed a sunny albeit windy start of Thanksgiving day. The event attracted a lot of fast runners-also- from other countries. The 5k was won by 22-year old Carl Dunne from Dunleer, Ireland in 15:39. First 5k female was Kristen Tenaglia (29) from Clearwater in 17:52. Andrew Dimitrakis from Athens, Greece set a new course record in the 1-mile Gobbler. His time: 4:10 Fastest female in the mile was Kristen Courcelle from Colchester, VT in 5:43. Overall winner of the 10K was Chris Trebilcock (27) from Tampa in 33:43 while on the female side Becky Howarth (26) also from Tampa smoked all other women in 17:52.
Our WFYRC track group did very well; in the 5k Wingding Burch Baskett (46) finished in 20:45; Yvonne Bryant (49) ran 23:30 and Kathleen Crowley (56) followed in 23:58, just behind Dawn Taylor (36) who ran 23:56
The 10k Turkey Trot was rerouted a bit because of road-construction. Mile-markers were spot on and volunteers at the waterstops, finishline and in the stadium did a fantastic job. Greg Carro wore his brand new shoes and finished in 40:32 Behind him was Walt Sieg (55) in 40:37 who was followed by Michael Weiss (53) in 40:41 Adam Fahey (17) finished in 42:00 and coach Albert Wieringa (69) cranked out 42:39. Dan Dorsey (50) finished in 44:10 while Kathleen Roach (56) grabbed her mug after finishing in 50:48. Gar Flisek ran all 4 races -better known as 'the Challenge'. Congrats to all of you guys! Your hard work payed off! Race director Skip Rogers did a great job (as usual) and was seen in a flashing black police car with all the trimmings.
