Former Smith Memorial winner Mary O’Meara of Slate Mills suffered from heat exhaustion during the race. Her husband, Barney O’Meara, reported over the phone that she recovered almost fully while enroute to Fauquier Hospital in Warrenton.
In other local highlights, Fay Crescenti placed second in the women’s 50 - 59 division while earning over $250 in pledges for the Rappahannock senior citizens food account. Crescenti said she didn’t think the race was worth dying for. Her strategy for staying alive: “I walked up the hills and ran like hell down them.” She confesses to having walked a third of the race. “A fast walk,” that is. “It was fun and I got lots of support for the senior citizens.”
