City of Oaks Report

Total RRO / FASTcoaching domination at City of Oaks... lots of PR's and lots of podium spots:

• Laura Berry was the 1st woman in the 10K, and Jennifer Curtin was 1st master's (3rd woman). Matt also finished his first 10K ever! (10k results)
• The half marathon was a sea of orange... literally. James ran a huge PR (top 10 AG), Cody also finished in the top 10 of this age group (glad he's tapering for a 50-miler), Anthony was 1st in his age group, and Roger Wood finished 4th in his (or 1st depending upon if they take out the top 5 overall). On the master's side, Sean, Mike C., and Charlie went 2-3-8 in their age group, Mark Newton (first half marathon), David Oyler, and Walt went 5-6-10 in their age group in their age group, and Roger Wood finished 2nd in his age group. On the women's side, Jennifer Hannen was 4th overall with a new PR! I was 5th in my age group (or 3rd if they take out the top 5 overall) Rita was 3rd in hers (or 2nd if they take out top 5 overall), Heather Davis and our friend Amelia were 1-4 in theirs, and Donna and Jacci turned in great performances on a difficult course. Dave Meyer helped pace the 1:45 group and Kim Bowler helped with the 2:00 group. I know I saw more orange singlets than that, but I'm honestly not sure of everyone's names! (half marathon results)
• In the marathon, Kimberlie Fowler and Kelcie Carlson went 1-2 on the women's side. Tim Surface was 2nd overall, and David Meeker finished in the top 10 with a new PR! Brad and his brother also helped with pace groups. (marathon results)
• Brian F., Win, Keith, and Tim G. were the 2nd relay team! (relay results)

CONGRATS CONGRATS CONGRATS WAHOOO! Despite "not being a PR course", there were lots of PR's. It was also really nice to meet some new teammates, and thank you RRO for putting on such a great race :-)
