Turkey Trots have become as much a Thanksgiving tradition as turkey, it seems, and with college kids home from break there were there were numerous opportunities for racing yesterday. Being a vegetarian myself, I didn't partake from the menu of 5Ks, 10Ks, and 4-Milers in and around the Boston area, but there were plenty of NNHS and NSRP alumni out on the roads.
In Brighton, almost 1200 runners came out for the Boston Volvo Village 5K. Dan Chebot finished 5th in 16:17, and more importantly, took top honors in the Chebot family competition, ahead of Ben (17:02) and Jesse (19:16), not to mention Alan (22:36) and Terri (28:30). Seb Putzeys (14th, 17:01) had to use his famous kick to hold off Ben. Noah Jampol was not far behind, running 17:36. I also noticed Tom Davis is the results at 17:55, but I suspect either that's not THE Tom Davis, or he was pacing Jen Davis, who finished in the same time.
In Somerville, more than 2200 runners gathered in Davis Square for the Gobble, Gobble, Gobble Run. This 4-mile race has become quite a competitive affair, and it was impressive to see two NSRP regulars in the top ten. Tyler Andrews (a product of that running factory, Concord Academy) placed 4th in 21:14, and won his age group. Terry McNatt (a product of Wisconsin via MIT) was 9th in 21:32, and was second master. NNHS alum John Blouin was not far back, running 22:37 for 19th.

what am I then, chopped liver? After all carving up the competition, beating the stuffing out of them should appeal to even the vegetarians in our midst.....
