Part 2/5:
Bryce Wardlow emerged victorious in the men's Five K category, and his enthusiasm was palpable as he crossed the finish line. Expressing sheer joy, he mentioned that it felt "awesome" to complete the race. With no specific expectations for his performance, Bryce focused on enjoying the run. His prior experience running the Philadelphia Marathon just two weeks earlier allowed him to maintain a strong base, but he acknowledged that the dynamics between racing a marathon and a Five K are distinctly different.
