Coming off an injury, Tim G. decided to "take it easy" in the New Hope 5K, winning in a time of 18:03. I wish (A) I could win a race on my "easy" day and/or (B) ever run an 18:03. Combined with our teammates from RRO (Ralph Smith, Jennifer Curtin, and Carolyn Micheels)... 1-2 overall for both men's and women's... CONGRATS (results)! Dave added another tick mark to his 2011 schedule of never-ending races, grabbing 4th in the Torch Run, and John Flynn finished 4th in his age group too... WAHOOO (results)! And, after a tough week of triathlon training... Bri Gaal won the 8K at the Gasparilla Distance Festival, and Marty Gaal ran a 1:34 in the half marathon... NICE JOB!
The rest of us enjoyed an "action packed" weekend of training. On Saturday, we ran the first (of many I hope) unofficial IHOP half marathons and 10ish-milers. The run was good, and breakfast was even better (and I'm pretty sure that the thought of pancakes swimming in maple syrup was the only thing that got me up that last hill to RRO). On Sunday, we ran 40x400m @ MP on the track (aka 10 miles at marathon... or maybe a little faster... pace). And, well... we made it, we made it, we made it... WAHOOO (yes, even me, as hard as that might be for some of you to believe)! And, in continuation of things that are hard to believe... the 32oz energy drink that Dave gave us at the end of the season... not awful when divided among 8 people (well, the red one at least)!
