Weekend Recap: RnR, no track

A sizable pack of our long distance junkies braved the Calvert Shoreham Drive Hill on Saturday morning at the Rock 'n' Roll DC Half Marathon. One would think that ideal weather conditions would offset any negativity brought about by the prospect of running The Hill, but as Charlie's pre-hill photos show, nobody looked very happy in the immediate moments before beginning the climb.

Hannah and Dickson were the stars of the morning, respectively, with Hannah logging an impressive 1:20:05 finish for her GRC debut and Dickson running 1:12:34 in preparation for next month's New Jersey Marathon.

Lastly, our beloved Panhandle Crew™️ of Lucas and Ryan Speir put forth a pair of strong performances in a highly competitive field at the Gate River Run 15k in Jacksonville, FL. Unfortunately, Lucas is now 0-for-2 against Jared Ward in direct competition. Maybe next time, Lucas.
