No, this is not a race report that's a Quickie. This is a report about a Quickie race. What exactly is a Quickie, you ask? Well, take it from me: don't google it. It's something my female running friends in particular have been asking for. Why me, I ask them back? I suppose they feel that if Dan doesn't do a Quickie, a Quickie doesn't get done. To be a little more specific, in this context, a Quickie is a two-mile prediction run. We Medina County Road Runners used to do one every year at Roscoe Ewing Park on Memorial Day.
Dan decided to organize a 2025 Quickie at the last minute. Five brave two-legged runners and one four-legged one showed up. This is not to mention an intrepid race timer. The runners predicted their times and placed their watches in the holding box. Unlike the practice in years past, no money was put down.

It was quite the exciting race, and it lived up to its name. The fastest runner was Marko Dravenstott, who dragged Alan Davenstott to victory as the first two-legged finisher. But Dan, yes, Dan, was the overall Grand Champion. His predicted time: 18:00. His actual time: 18:00. Now, every day for the rest of his running life, Dan will lament not putting money into a pot.
