 Well, it started Sony and ended in the rain, but 133 racers finished the Blue Ox Mayor Thonimimiji Saturday. For the man of familiar face, cross the finish line first, BSU alum Brach Tezdal with a second title in three years at 237-71, just off record pace. For the women, Long Beach, California native Annalisa O'Toole, she paced away at 3-19-04 for the victory. It felt good off the bat. I was starting with the 3-25 pace group and then I just kept going out of that. I ran a good chunk of it by myself, which was hard, but I had the biker, so that was nice. He was there keeping me company. Running downtown, running past Bemidji State University just brings back all the memories I made my four years playing on the court and off the court. So I feel like that was a great motivating tool because every time, you know, while I was running, each step I was just picturing those memories.
