A Busy 2 Days

TAF Racing obliterated the competition at the track meet this weekend. On Friday, Dave Meyer competed in the pentathlon. I saw the 200m, where he ran 1sec faster than the year before. Rita cheered him on in the 1500m, where he finished 4th in the field. He also jumped and threw consistently well, despite not having practiced these events since he competed last year. Sean ran the 3000m on Friday, turning in an amazing time for 4th overall. Apparently the heat and blazing hot sun does not affect y'all!

The awesomeness continued on Saturday, where Sean passed a runner in the last 50m of the mile to finish 2nd. Rusty also ran well in the mile, and Dave tried his hand at high jump. Then, Olyer, Rusty, Dave, and Sean teamed up for the Distance Medley relay... although, according to the announcer, Sean ran all four legs. In reality, Olyer led off the relay, running a strong 1200m. He handed the baton to Rusty, who quickly overtook the first place team in the 400m leg. Then, off ran Dave, who all but waved to us in the 800m as he effortlessly opened the gap on the 2nd place team. Sean finished off the distance medley well, opening the gap further and securing the win for the "Sean Kurdys Relay Team". All told, TAF Racing took home a bunch of medals... it was a great meet to watch. CONGRATS GUYS!!!

Then, the team made their way over to the grand opening of the new TAF store. The store looks GREAT, and some of us stuck around for some of the lectures. I also attended the barefoot running talk on Friday night, which was really cool. Wow, don't know about y'all, but I'm exhausted! I'll post the official results and some pictures when I find them... also waiting to hear how the Race for the Cure and the Boogie Marathon went. Have a great rest of the weekend everyone. #20
