Me too, me first - I was taking photos at the finish line at the Dam Mill 5K in Millsboro July 28. A young, fit guy battled a fluid, fit woman to the finish and neither was backing down. Luis Xavier Aguirre (20:29) got there first, winning by a second over Kristen Schaen (20:30). Both are 28 years old. I saw Luis later and asked, ”Do you know the woman you beat?” He said, “Yes, I know her.” “She’s a nice-looking person. Did you consider backing down as a chivalrous thing to do?” Luis said, “No, we are out here to race.” He then added, “Thanks for being out here taking photos of all the races. Your pictures are great.” Later in the race, Andrew Counts, 74, of Milton beat Debbie Rementer, 68, of Rehoboth Beach by three-tenths of a second. Debbie is the most pleasant of people and a cancer survivor. I joked to her, “That all counts for nothing; you signed up for a race and that is what you got.” Debbie smiled because she gets it and has a beagle named Quinn.
