The Statesman Capitol 10K race was held last weekend here in Austin, with over 13,000 participants enjoying a typically gorgeous day in the Capitol City.
Bernard Manirakiza — an NCAA Division II track champion at 800 meters, 1,500 meters, and the mile for Abilene Christian University — easily won the overall race in a time of 30:06.
Good friend and local Disc Golf Pro/Tournament Director/Pro Shop Proprietor/Disc Golf Ranch Owner David Moody finished 19th out of 454 in the Men’s 40-44 division (104th overall) with a time of 39:54.
34-year-old Cassandra Henkiel won her 4th Capitol 10K with a time of 35:27

35:27?!? Ugh, it hurts just reading that….
34 year old TexasTommy ran in his first Capitol 10K last Saturday with a time of 1:00:32. After having his groin seize up with severe cramps at the 4.5 mile mark, he had to walk to the Congress street bridge, which included passing a man flat on his back being administered to by paramedics.
Congrats on finishing.
Seems like the hardest part might be having the cajones to step up and actually commit to running the damn thing.
I’m impressed by each-and-every one of the 13000 runners who did so.
