While all the hype surrounded the return of the Turkey Trot in Troy on Thanksgiving, there were four other races run.
We'll start, of course, in the hometown. Winners only:
Women's 10K: Cara Sherman (Clifton Park) covered the distance in 35 minutes, 10 seconds, good for 17th overall, since the men & women ran together.
Men's 10K: Troy native James Anderson, now running out of Rochester placed first, nearly 4 full minutes ahead of Sherman.
Women's 5K: Visiting runner Danielle Jordan of Seattle finished in just under 17 minutes to win.
Men's 5K: Alex Hislop (Clifton Park) crossed the finish line at 15:29.
Grade school race: Joey Degnan (Troy) won the boys' division. A O. Macutek (The O for Olivia, maybe?) won the girls' division.
In Schenectady's Central Park, the Cardiac Classic was held. Lianne Farber of Boston won the women's division, while former Niskayuna trackman Louis Serafini, now running out of Cambridge, Massachusetts, won the men's division, scorching the 5K distance in just 14:27, easily the best time of the day.
In Saratoga:
Women's 5K: Hannah Belleville (Clifton Park) held off Nathalie Chateaunault of Ballston Spa by a full second.
Men's 5K: Shea Weilbaker finished at 15:17.
In Delmar (Bethlehem):
Women's 5K: Isao Knox crossed the line at 20:15.
Men's 5K: Keith Machabee posted a time of 16:28.
In Cohoes:
Women's 5K: Lianna Matala (Schenectady) finished 1st at 22:09, good for 6th overall.
Men's 5K: Gavin Vlainich (Glenville) crossed the wire at 20:02.
All this needed was some real television coverage.
