## Caption

Christina Welsh (photo 1) woke up in her St. Petersburg home Sunday at 3:30 a.m. and said she felt “terrible.”⁠
⁠
She was wondering if she could, or should, do what she was about to attempt: Compete in the Publix Gasparilla Distance Classic half-marathon less than 24 hours after winning the 15K in a blazing 54 minutes, 43 seconds in, well, relatively blazing humid temperatures.⁠
⁠
The 25-year-old who has qualified for the 2024 Olympic Trials marathon, steadily eased into the flow and pulled away, cruising across the finish line in 1:18:54.⁠
⁠
⁠Seth DeMoor (photo 2), 36, of Colorado, wins the half-marathon with a time of 1:08:57 on Sunday. DeMoor is a running YouTuber and documents his training, shares gear, reviews and more.⁠
⁠
The first three miles of the 8K race were a breeze for Dylan Nolan (photo 3), despite the work he put in just one day prior to win the Classic’s 5K.⁠
⁠
Nolan was first to cross the finish line for the second time in two days, winning the men’s 8K in 26 minutes, 55 seconds. Clearwater native Brittany Higgins (photo 4), 37, won the women’s side, finishing in 33 minutes, 10 seconds.⁠
