As we've all heard several times by now, there were some 24,000 runners participating in this race.
Perhaps only a few hundred were really serious about the RACE aspect of the race, so much so
that several blazed past the Illbillys before they had even finished setting up their swiftly dampening
equipment!
Following is a semi-fictional reenactment of this moment:
ZOOOOOM! (runner flashes by)
Peter: "What was that!??"
Joe: "Why, I believe that was Abdi Abdirahman!"
JB: "Abdi Abdirahman? Why, he's from Somalia, though he became a US citizen in January of 2000!"
Jack: "Why, it certainly is nice when we politely take turns speaking while having a conversation such as this. And beginning each sentence with the word 'why' just makes it all the more pleasant."
Peter: "Soooo...what was that!??"
Abdi Abdirahman finished first in the Ukrop's 9th Annual Monument Avenue 10K, in 28 min 32 sec.
