1,580 Ten Milers This Weekend

Well, not counting some of us who did both! (More on that later today!)

Checking out the online results from the HARRA Fall Series race, the United Space Alliance 10 Miler, and the resurrected 10 For Texas in The Woodlands yesterday, there were 1,580 finishers between the two (2) races. There were 822 finishers in the USA 10 Miler - an all-time high - and 758 finishers in 10 For Texas.

The USA 10-Miler's numbers for its four (4) years are as follows:

2003 (621) -- 2004 (793) -- 2005 (746) -- 2006 (822)

The male/female distribution went this way:

10 For Texas -- Male (389), Female (369)
Space City 10-Miler -- Male (451), Female (371)

Finishing "chip" time distrbution was as follows:

Under 1:00 -- Space City, 18-2
1:00 to 1:09:59 -- Space City, 55-36
1:10 to 1:19:59 -- Ten For Texas, 134-122
1:20 to 1:29:59 -- Ten For Texas, 179-157

Interestingly enough, at this point, Space City had 352 finishers meet the 1:29:59 bar while 351 did at Ten For Texas.

1:30 to 1:39:59 -- Ten For Texas, 168-159
1:40 to 1:49:59 -- Space City, 127-111
1:50 to 1:59:59 -- Space City, 90-60
2:00 to 2:09:59 -- Ten For Texas, 43-40
2:10 to 2:19:59 -- Space City, 33-17
2:20 to 2:29:59 -- Space City, 16-4
2:30 and above -- Even, 4-4

Austin's Colin Wolfe - the Ten For Texas winner - would have finished 4th at Space City while The Woodlands' Kim Hager - the women's winner on her hometown course - would have finished second behind Blooming Grove's Jody Hawkins.
