behind me. It was a good workout today."
Pinard admitted he got tired, offering the weak excuse that he ran, oh, 100 to 110 miles the past week. “I usually run that many when I’m training for a race.”
Pinard will probably return next year to mock at the course in his usual manner. He said he likes to compare times to see what kind of shape he’s in.
Pinard was not the only one who shrugged off the hot weather. Kim Belyea of Winchester, top finisher among the women with a time of 37:41, said the heat didn’t bother her much. “I felt strong, I kept feeling a breeze that cooled me off.” Sane people will say she dreamed the breeze, because it just wasn’t there. Nothing in the air on Saturday felt like a coolant, yet Belyea was refreshened by something - believe it or not.
Like Pinard, Belyea thinks the course is a tough one. She rated it an 8 out of 10 on a toughness scale. Why? “The hills tire me out,” she said.
Winners of the Eva L. Smith Memorial, awarded to the first place finishers from Rappahannock, were Frank Reynolds for the men (36:27) and Lisa Currie for the women (44:51). Reynolds, who claimed his fifth Memorial and was sixth overall, topped the men's 40 - 49 division. “I ran the best race I could,” remarked the Washington attorney. “It was really, really hot, I just couldn’t push it anymore.”
Reynolds aimed for a time in the low 35s but was satisfied with his 36:27. “It’s dangerous,” he said, referring to the heat. “You can get overheated and not know it.”
