1)The son in law came in at 1:35, #11 in his class.
2) The wife came in at around 2:35, but she did finish after walking a portion of the 5k run at the end. And just finishing was a terrific accomplishment in our eyes.
3) The 19 yo daughter finished around 2:25, running strong at the end. She won 3rd place in her group. There were only 3 entrants.
4) The real hero was in the 15 yo son. He is in good shape and was doing well until the final run when he developed terrible leg cramps. He had to walk the entire 5k, part of it "straight legged" and the last 1/2 mile limping severely. He made it across the finish line--unassisted--at 2:56, which was 4 minutes before he would have been disqualified. He got a second place award, since there were only two entrants in his age class. He showed incredbile determination. We are very proud of him.
