Turkey Chase 2008



NORSAites Steven, John and Matt completed the 10K Turkey Chase on Thanksgiving Day. Sadly, last year's record setting appearance of 9 NORSA members and affiliates was not matched because of [insert unsatisfactory excuse].

Unlike last year, runners faced cold conditions as evidenced by a layer of morning frost. As usual, the 6.2 mile course took runners on a tour through Bethesda, MD, passing NIH, downtown Bethesda, and the neighborhoods.

Results:
Steven: 50:16
John: 57:41
Matt: 1:02:47

Here is Steven, captured in his smooth running form:



Followed by brother John:
