First-time participant Randy MacNeill was the first across the finish line to win the fifth annual Miscouche firefighters' 10-mile run here recently.
MacNeill, originally from Milton and now residing in New Hampshire, won with a time of 1:01:00. He hoped to finish under the hour mark.
"I ran a 30K race last weekend, so I knew I was still a little tired from that," said the 46 year old, who's been running for 25 years. "I'm sure if I was rested I'd do better."
MacNeill usually runs 10 miles in 57 to 58 minutes.
"I went out easy because I knew we had the wind on our backs when we went out, so we would have to face it coming back," he added.
"I just wanted to get a feel on how I was feeling first. I ran the first couple of miles fairly easily and picked it up a little bit, and tried to stay into a nice little rhythm and held it the rest of the way."
Athena Doyle of Charlottetown, also a first-time participant in the event, was the first female to cross the finish line, 10th overall.
Doyle finished with a time of 1:13:14. She hoped to beat her best in the 15K, which is 1:25.
"It was fairly straight and flat, not overly challenging," said Doyle, who has been running long distance for only two years. "Sometimes it's challenging, the fact it's really straight because you get bored."
The race was also Doyle's first win.
"It's a great day for a run," said the 35 year old, in her first year with the P.E.I. Roadrunners Association. "When I figured out I was anemic I started taking supplements, so now it's easier to run."
But the race wasn't about who was first to cross the finish line, said organizer Mike MacKinnon.
"The winner is going to be the one with the best personal best," said MacKinnon, a former member of the P.E.I. Roadrunners.
That person was Monique Kay, who finished with a time of 1:31:04, beating her personal best of 1:39:04.
Also, Jamie Mutch knocked four minutes six seconds off his personal best, finishing with a time of 1:12:57.
summary of the 10-mile run:
34 competitors.
24 male, 10 female.
Race record of 57:40 belongs to Paul Thibideau, set in the event's first year.
