12/11-12 Race Reports

December spells total TAF Domination (not really, other than Domination and December both start with the same letter)... but we rocked this weekend.

• David Oyler was 2nd in his age group at the Jolly Elf 5K Trail Run, finishing 12th overall... WAHOOO! (results)
• Brad B. ran AWESOME at the Thunder Road Marathon, finishing in his goal time for 5th in his age group (72nd overall). Tim G. also competed well. In the half marathon, Nicole Lewis ran a huge PR, crushing the 2-hour barrier. CONGRATS! (marathon, half marathon)
• TAF Racing also did well at the USATF Club XC Championships. This race was fun... crazy fast... but fun... did I mention crazy fast?!? Seriously, it was awesome just to be there and see everyone. Dave and Sean competed in the Master's Men's race. This was the largest of the day, with over 400 people. I can't imagine how crazy their start was, nor do I want to contemplate running a 10K on that course! The women's race also went well, with Laura B. leading the way for team TAF. And... we beat a team, we beat a team, we beat a team... WAHOOO. I was super excited to learn this when we looked at the results, I mean there was some ridiculous teams there! GREAT JOB EVERYONE! (results) ... and Laurel and I made the photo gallery (let me know if y'all see other members of our team, some of the pictures are hard to tell)!

Nice job everyone! And, the Farmer's Market Breakfast Run went awesome this AM... rain held off just long enough for us to finish and watch it out the window over coffee, biscuits, maple syrup... all we were missing were sprinkles! Time to get ready for the end of the season party, have a good week. #20
