My Darling Wife is very slightly insane, and took place in the 2009 Thundercloud Subs Turkey Trot. She put in a time-per-mile average of 9:23 over the five mile course.
She's also pregnant. 7 weeks, but still. I convinced her to sign up in the general female-by-age division instead of the Maternity division, to give any *really* pregnant women a better chance of a good result in-class. In her age and sex division she took 90th out of 212. With 14,500 participants, her overall finish at 1500-ish was a pretty-respectable 10% back from the leaders.
Had she gone with the Maternity division as she had originally intended, she would have placed. First was in high seven minute/mile range, and second was in the elevens. She would have DOMINATED the other four pregnant women behind her.
Oh well. At least she got a T-shirt for her $32 entry fee, and she spent some quality time with one of her girlfriends.
