Where will Brad Batteau strike next?
"Houston Running" readers are the absolute best!
Here's a note this morning from The Woodlands' Vincent Attanucci, a member of the 20-Race Club at Run The Woodlands 5K and a Boston Qualifier at both the White Rock and Chevron Houston Marathons, who also ran this Saturday's ConocoPhillips Rodeo Run 10K:
"You are not going to believe this, but I was showing the picture to my son Mike, and he immediately pointed out that the same guy, dressed the same way, started out at the very front of the pack in the Houston Press / Smart Financial 5K after we all left out for the Houston Marathon / Half Marathon. And here is his finish time - he didn't win! Mike was volunteering at the race that morning and spotted him just like you did."
His time from the marathon web site:
BRAD BATTEAU (5K) Bib #51256 HOUSTON, TX - USA Age 37 M
START 7:19:45 AM CST FINISH 00:24:07
TIME Chip Time: 00:24:07 Clock: 00:24:07 Pace: 7:45
Placement Overall: 164 Gender: 132 Division: 20
And since we had a bib number, his picture on the brightroom.com website from the Houston Press 5K wasn't hard to find. You be the judge!

All this led Vincent to ask, "So where will he show up next, and what is his gig?"

OMG- tights guy!! I see this guy ALL the time- or maybe his twin??- he always wears the tights even when it is too hot for them. Sometimes he wears only tights and no shirt!
Hey, I can run that fast too. I'm moving up front with Brad!
I wonder if Goldenpalace.com is paying him off! lol.
That means that he'd have to run with a tattoo on his chest like Jeff Bagwell's ex did. (Well, I don't know that she ran in road races like that ... although I'm sure many wishes she would.)
