Tanzania's Next Olympic Star?

You can't see the caption at the bottom of the pics, but it reads, "Tanzania's Young Olympians"! Somehow, an old-ish white guy ended up in the shot, though.

Mark and his friend Steve entered the race, which was cancelled, several weeks ago. They ran it two weeks ago. It was called the Arusha Marathon, but it was only 25km. The 5k (which actually ended up being about 5 miles) started an hour late. When Mark paid his registration of $20, it included a tshirt and shorts, transport from the end of the race back to town, and post-race food. None of that delivered, though! He had a great time, finishing 4th in his group.

You also can't tell, but he's branded his loyalties all over himself. Those are Minnetonka shorts, his Luther tshirt, and his PHF hat. Thanks for the advertising, Mark! Posted by Picasa
