Dr. Mitchell held a clear lead on Dr. Simmons, Amy Hammond, Britt Hoyt, and Jack “Blue Light” DeMarco, with Johnny Bledsoe last, for the first six blocks of the morning walk to the hospital, but in the next crucial stretch Blue Light and Hammond passed Simmons. After reaching the halfway point—the corner of Kick and Middleton—Simmons, rallying, regained second place, and began to walk more quickly before turning onto Oak, but was challenged a block from the parking lot by Hoyt and Dr. Jarvis (the latter coming in from Brick Lane), Hoyt getting the best of a desperate finish by virtue of the protruding prow of his larger briefcase. A shoe length divided second and third. Amy Hammond was fourth, Johnny Bledsoe fifth, Blue Light sixth, and Dr. Mitchell last.
