Weekend Update (February 24): RRCA and Boston Last Chance


The conditions at the RRCA 10 Miler were sub-optimal to say the least, but the cold rain did not dampen the spirits of our intrepid crew.

Congratulations to the women who got the win by a comfortable margin against solid competition. Kerry led the way, finishing 3rd in 61:54, followed by Natalie in 6th in 63:22 which was a 24 second PR, Margaret in 7th in 63:37, Liz R in 9th in 64:05, Hallie in 14th in 66:33, and Chelsea V in 16th in 66:46. Well done, ladies! Because of several late scratches due to illness and injury the men were unable to field a full team, but the guys that got on the starting line ran well. Kyle made a promising return to racing in 54:21, followed by Zak in a PR of 54:54, Charlie in 54:57, Cabell in 55:07, Max in 55:46, Trever in 56:26, and Sean in 58:49. That Natalie and Zak were able to PR in such awful conditions on a very hilly course is a great sign that we're going to see more PRs from him them both this spring.

The conditions were perfect at the Boston University Last Chance meet, where Tom ran an excellent 1:58.41 800. Tom had not broken 2:00 since 2011, and he was extremely pleased to see that he still has some speed after moving up to longer road distances.
