Samahang Tagalog ATBP sa Pohnpei 5k fun run

Rendy finished first, something I do not usually get to see, but a spare photographer was on hand this morning.
I was not directly behind Rendy, not even close, although I was the first 50 and over runner across the line in 28:44. For what little it is worth, I was the first (as well as last) joggler to cross the finish line. I have been first in my "division" since I started running and juggling the local 5k runs, an unbeaten record of wins in the division. Being the only joggler on a remote island makes this possible. I finish first no matter when I finish, as long as I finish with all three juggling balls under control. 

That said, I was spurred on this morning by this being the first run for which I had a sponsor. In the spirit of Olympism in Action, the FSM National Olympic Committee provided entry fee support to myself and my two participating children in the event. Many thanks to the Olympic Committee!
My son overheated some in fierce mixture of sun and the saturated morning air. The air is not simply humid, the air is physically wet on this kind of morning. I ran in with him, encouraging him, it is not often that one is sponsored by a National Olympic Committee!  He finished in 40:45.
My daughter forged on to finish in 56:33 with a stubbed and cut toe.
