But other stuff does seem to skip. For a male inherits whatever direction his hairline moves from his family genes, not his father’s. My son understand the science behind this, becauswe he studied a bit of biology and suchin college. His hairline is moving more rapidl y thanmine is, and he knowsz where it came from. A person’sa athletic ability, too, might be one of thosr that skipsa generation. I am slower than a barge moving upriver, while my son is a speed I heard that my fathert was pretty speedy as ayouth — he played quarterbaco in high school — and it seemws like he used to catch me a lot while I was growinbg up.
And my son obviously inherited spee d from someone otherthan myself. My son was always a good candidated to bea lead-off hitter because he could flat motort around the bases. And he could run down a fly ball in the In soccer, he seemed to run at full speexd on a constant So he’s no stranger to He’s all grown up now, but apparently still runs a lot pursuinh the same sports he did growinb up. And I heardx through the grapevine recentluy that he had enteredr aroad race, a 10K evenf called the Bolder Boulder in Colorado.
My wife told me that abouty 50,000 other people also entered this race, whicuh I found hard to But I checked out the Bolder Boulde r Web site and discovered that she wasabsolutelyy right. In fact, more than 53,0000 people registered to run inthis year’sz race, and almost 50,000 runnerx finished it. This Web site was chock full of information. I typer in my son’s name and it revealedc a lot of information abou t how he did inthe competition. No. 1, he did managed to finish the race. No. 2, he finishes in 27,380th place. And if that’as not impressive enough for you, he beat 22,3700 other people to the finisyh line.
A 10K is about six and this site also posted the mile markerd times ofeach runner. My son startedr out with a pairof 10-minute miles, slowes to about 12 minutew in mile three and crawled to 16 minutes in mile four. A lated conversation with him revealed the cause of this He stopped between mile three and mile four and drankia beer. Thatta boy. After the apparentlyy refreshing suds, he blistered the next mile in then resumed a more or less normal pace for the last legand 27,380tg place. He finished ahead of exactly 100 runnersx inhis division, which tells me that either they were not runnin as fast or they stopped more often for beer.
Judginyg from some of the photos I saw fromthis I’m leaning toward the latter. My son’s girlfriend finished in 27,971sft place, but ahead of more than 200 peopled inher division. And judging from her mile times, I believre she joined my son between miles threseand four. Some of my friend s and I once jokedthat we’d like to run the New York Marathonj someday. Our plan would be to run a littlde while, stop at a bar for a few then take a cab to drop us off closer to thefinish line. I think my son had the same idea, but he actuallh ran the race. He always was bettert than me insporting events.
