Some were faster; some were slower; some ran a helluva lot farther but Wayne finished the 5K race at the Amsterdam Marathon on Sunday 207th out of 720 men’s entrants.
Distance: 5 kilometers (3.1 miles)
Time: 25:13
Pace: 11.9 km/hr (7.4 miles/hour)

Too bad they couldn’t take a picture of the entire racer.
Start/Finish: Amsterdam 1928 Olympic Stadium

WOW, That was pretty cool. I didn’t realize you did running races. I was really proud. Lis said you had been to a race and needed a ‘lie down’ when I talked on Sunday. Way to go !!!!!

Yeah Wayne! I would think the Dutch know how to take pictures of tall people. Hope all is well.

Just wanted to say hello. My mother sent me a link to find out where people with our last name live across the globe.
And I found a Wakeman living in Amsterdam! Can’t say I expected that! And an athlete at that. Not quite what I expected.
All the best,
Seth Wakeman
