Bain 74th In Boston Marathon

A common fixture among the top finishers in regional running races, Christopher C. Bain, 30, placed 74th in Monday's prestigious 112th Boston Marathon, with an impressive pace of 5:50 and an overall time of 2:32:43.

According to my search, Bain is the only person who listed a Rockville residence to crack the top 100. If anyone has better information, please let me know. (Thanks to Rockville Central reader Bill Bird for the tip about the Marathon's results search page).

This picture, from Washington Running Report, shows Bain in the Annapolis Ten Miler a few years ago.

I ran the Los Angeles Marathon once, and try as I might I only came within spitting distance of a four hour time (4:14 actually).

I am in awe of this neighbor!
