The results are in

The first annual Phillips Junior High School track all-stars challenge went off today at a reduced distance of 400 meters. Here's how it went down:  Jonathan Drake took the lead at the outset and stayed there, winning in 69 seconds, besting Clark Troy's 70 seconds.  Then the runners wheezed and expectorated, and then ran some more gentle 300 and 200 meter intervals to conceal the fact that 44-year olds had been racing on the track. And jogged.  And stretched.

Pizza was then consumed at Sal's

Money will be paid to a charity of Drake's choosing.

correction: he ran a 68 and you ran a 69. don't steal that precious second away from yourself, we have a steadily diminishing number of them left as it is...

will the charity challenge become a perennial event?

Ahh, you had me confused. Well done.

Yeah, lets make the challenge permanent, and decide on a target challenge each spring. We could even rotate modes (bikes one year, run one year, tri one year).
