4/16-18 Race Reports

Prior to the chaos that was Saturday afternoon, Mike Chappell finished 3rd OA in the Mission Outreach Benefit 5K (results)... I'd say two PR's in under a week pretty much spells AWESOME! Tim G. competed in the Beaverdam Tri, finishing in the top 10 and 3rd in his age group (results)... WAHOOO!

The Boston Marathon also saw some WICKED AWESOME performances from RRO / FAST Coaching. It was a perfect day (hence the multiple records that were broken... CRAZY), and I think everyone had a fun time (at least before, after, and partially during the race). Needless to say, we certainly earned those finishing medals after surviving the hills of Newton! David Kirby ran a 2:59:56, going sub-3 for the second time in under a month! Sean (4563), John Flynn (12751), and Dave (10131) also ran great races... not sure if Dave or Sean will win the "whose feet look the worst" contest! On the women's side, Laurel had a fantastic race, crossing in 3:15:39. Rita (14415), Jennifer (9590), and I (9075) ran strong, and David Meeker (3491) and Kimberlie Fowler (2336) crossed the finish line together (at least I am guessing by their times). Also, congrats to our friends Tim Meigs (2:38:36), Lisa Howell, and Joey Anderson on turning in some great times... and the Carolina Godiva Track Club for placing in the top 10 master's teams (individual results; team results)! Sorry if I'm leaving anybody out... I know there were more RRO people who ran, but I'm not sure of everyone's names (let us know how you did). I'll post a race report soon!

CONGRATS EVERYONE!!!
