Turkey Trot victory gives Rand points title> Cake overtakes Goupee to triumph in men’s race

loading...

BREWER – Running, Lara Rand will tell you (even if she’s pacing back and forth before a big race), is a lot of fun.

It’s what happens after the training’s done that turns her into a jittery mess.

“I always get worked up about racing. It’s not my favorite thing to do,” Rand said with a grin after touring the 3.1-mile course in 19 minutes, 17 seconds and topping a talented women’s field in the Turkey Trot 5K.

“I love to run, but I don’t like to race,” she summed up.

On Sunday, Rand had a pretty good reason to be antsy: Not only was the race the final one of her season, but it also decided the Saucony/Sub 5 Road Race Series points title.

Orrington’s Rand entered the race with 37 series points, but she’d run one fewer race than the rest of the contenders. With her win she overhauled Bangor native Alicia Hughes and earned the points title as well by one point.

Hughes’ total for her five best races remained at 46 after she took ninth in the race.

Deirdre Fleming of Orono ran with Rand for much of race before taking second in 19:24. Third place belonged to 12-year-old seventh-grader Cassie Hintz of Stillwater, who ran 19:31.

In the men’s race, Judson Cake of Bar Harbor outran Andy Goupee of Orrington in a stirring duel for the overall championship.

Cake surged to catch Goupee on the final upgrade, caught him with 600 yards to go, and kicked away for the win in 16:03. Goupee ran 16:05, while Jeremy Lisee of Milbridge ran 16:26 and took third.

In all 390 runners finished the 19th edition of the popular race. Another 69 runners participated in a 1-mile race for children age 13 and younger.

Nathan Haluska and Sarah Breau, both of Brewer, won their respective divisions in 5:54 and 6:42.

In the men’s race, Goupee and Cake ran a speedy 4:56 first mile and jockeyed back and forth for much of the second mile.

Goupee made his move just past the two-mile mark, as he surged into the lead on a downhill and quickly built up a 25-yard advantage.

“I definitely felt like the distance he was [ahead of me], I wasn’t going to catch up to him,” Cake said.

But when Goupee slowed slightly after the race’s steepest segment – a hill from Industrial Park road to a set of railroad tracks on Parkway South – Cake started to reel him in.

“I wouldn’t say I let up, but I was cruising,” Goupee said. “I couldn’t hear anything behind me, Judson came up on me pretty quick and caught me by surprise.”

From there, Cake knew what to do: he relied on a solid kick to carry him home.

“Once I caught up to him, I couldn’t let him beat me,” said Cake, who pointed out that his finishing kick has been a strong suit since high school.

In the women’s race, Rand said the outcome of the race – and the points series – led to an entirely different mindset than the one she took to the starting line.

“I always feel great after a race,” she said. “As soon as the race is over I’m a happy person again. My complete outlook on life changes.”
