The 15th place finisher today was a 42-year-old from Shelton, CT, named Brian Ordway (pictured above, in the Marist Alumni Racing Team uniform). Doc, as he was known back in his college days. Brian won the 40-49 age group and ran a respectable time of 18:17.01. He won the 40-49 age group. Middle-age guy, in what is generally a competitive age group. Here's the thing: I coached Brian in college, at Marist, in the early/mid 1990s. And now he's in the 40-49 division. Wow, man! That's a long time.
Too bad I just missed that podium.
