4/30 Race Reports

Another action-packed weekend of AWESOME racing for Team RRO / FAST Coaching:

• Brandon Carter was 2nd OA at the Run for Our Heroes. David Meeker was 1st in his age group, Rusty was 3rd in his, and Erica was 3rd and Crit was 4th in their age group (oh... and these were 10 year age groups!). Marc Blum also ran a great race. CONGRATS!!! (results)
• The Cuke Patch 5K was also dominated by runners in orange shirts, with RRO / FAST Coaching claiming 6 of the top 10 spots. On the men's side, Keith was 2nd OA (1st AG), Sean was 3rd OA (1st AG), and Dave was 7th OA (2nd AG). Laura Berry (1st AG), Rita (2nd AG), and I (3rd AG) went 1-2-3 on the women's side (again, they broke it down into 10 year age groups and only gave an overall winner award). I think most of us ran PR's (Rita by like 40sec!), and it was a legitimate 5K this year... Keith and Laura "Garmined" it to the footstep (yes, we decided that "garmined" could be a verb if "googled" was one). It was a FANTASTIC race and a FUN festival. And thank you Nikki for coming out and cheering and taking some awesome pictures! (results) 

Oh, and Dave once again won the first 400m... and I think he might have even won the first half mile. However, I must personally congratulate him on this strategy, as he can add one to the "D" column on the "official score" and darken the Meghan on his compression socks :-).

I'll post a TVR report as soon as I know the "official" results. CONGRATS again to everyone who raced this weekend... WAHOOO!
