Oh the Shame!!


Of the family members who ran the Reindeer Run, Dad came in last, as if that wasn't demeaning enough, he was beat by his sister in law, who was wearing a WALKMAN.

Ryan runs for 2nd place in the Reindeer Run

Here is the pre-race photo of the 2nd place runner at the annual Cape Canaveral Reindeer Run, the following is a quote from the Florida Today article:

Youth was favored in Saturday's race, at least in the Pletcher family of Cocoa Beach.
Ryan Pletcher, 7, running his first 5K, beat out his dad Geoff, 44, by about 30 seconds, the family said.
The younger Pletcher trained for the race with the running club at his school, Freedom 7 Elementary.
"It was hard because it was my first one and I ran pretty fast," he said.
