6/11-12 Race Reports

We ran awesome, we ran awesome, we ran awesome... WAHOOO! I think we can safely say that we covered more distance racing this weekend as a team then any other weekend previously, and we ROCKED:

• Starting with the "short" races, Rusty was 2nd in his age group in both the 1500m and 5000m at the Southeastern U.S. Master's Track and Field competition. (results)
• The Race for the Cure also saw some great performances, with Tim Surface finishing 1st overall, and Kimberly Fowler and Elaine Lawrie going 2-3 on the female side. (results)
• Laura Frey was the 6th female (3rd age group) at the Market Day Square 10K Road Race in Portsmouth, NH... way to set the pace for RRO / FASTcoaching total New England domination. (results)
• Brad ran a 7:45 for the Boogie 50-miler, making it his second fastest ever. He was also the 1st of the Magnum Track Club runners (I'm not sure if he was 1st overall too). I don't know how you run 50 miles continuously... and at night... at that pace... wow.
• Tim G. raced great at the Eagleman Triathlon (despite what he says)... I can't figure out where they posted the results of that race.
• I'm still waiting to hear what the official results of the New England Relay are... but we ran AWESOME! Our team averaged a 7:05 pace over the 220+ mile course from RI2ME. And, we were the first team to cross the finish line... by like an hour! We had a ton of fun, and met some awesome people. Thank you to everyone who jumped in at the last minute to make it possible. I'll post the "full story" of the New England Relay soon (aka I need time to write it).

FANTASTIC JOB everyone and enjoy the rest of the week! As a reminder, the second PFT Challenge is tomorrow (Wednesday) at 6PM. We will be meeting at Lassiter Mill Circle along the Crabtree Greenway (off Lassiter Falls Circle; across from St. David's School).
