On a cool and misty Saturday morning, Kyle and Greg went head-to-head on the 5th leg of the Akron Marathon. Tensions were high following a simultaneous bathroom break. Kyle offered Greg a piece of gum. Greg paused, thinking some alternative motive behind the chivalrous move. After a second thought, Greg took the gum. It would prove disastrous. The constant gum chewing cost Greg 6 minutes--the exact amount Kyle would win by, as Kyle finished the race in 62 minutes, Greg 68.

All in all, the race, as usual, was a success. Akron puts on a great marathon, and the Akron enthusiasm along the trail is fantastic--bands, stereos, clingy percussion instruments played by drunken cheerers and loads of screaming supporters. It's a great form of community fun.

Oh, by the way, Derek Anderson just tackled himself.
