USA Masters Indoor Nationals

The Dojo's own Alan Pemberton and Henry Wigglesworth competed at the USA Masters Indoor Nationals this weekend. Largely because Alan is a nut, his performances were as follows:
 
4th: 60-64 1 Mile Run (5:31)
4th: 60-64 3K (11:10)
3rd: 60-69 4X200M Relay (Anchor Leg)
2nd: 60-69 4X400 Relay (Leadoff)
3rd: 60-69 4X800 Relay (Leadoff)
8th: 60-64 200M (30)
6th: 60-64 400M (67)
 
Henry was reportedly looking really good in his 3000M heat when he pulled up with an achilles issue. Hoping the best for Henry's recovery.

Racing Roundup

LA Marathon, Los Angeles, CA
Brian Savitch, by way of a hardcore tune-up for Boston, cruised the LA Marathon this weekend. Of course, for him, "cruise" means running a 2:56, good for 101st place overall.
Caesar Rodney Half Marathon - Delaware, MD
Congrats to Emily Buzzell for a 1:27 and 9th woman overall at the Caesar Rodney Half Marathon in Delaware. Great tune up performance for Boston, and a solid follow-up to her blistering season-opening performance at the GW Birthday Marathon Relay.
Kerryman Pub 5k - Saco, ME
Shawn Rumery blitzed the Kerryman Pub 5k back in his home state of Maine this weekend, putting up a 16:06 (5:11 pace), good for 4th overall, 1st in his age group, and 1st among non-Mainers.
TJHSST Pi-Miler - Alexandria, VA
Last but not least, the Dojo swept the top spots at this weekend's TJHSST Pi-Miler. Defending champ Dan (me) came in second (16:55) to the new and future king of nerds, Chris Pruitt (15:29). Me trying to catch Pruitt was like a curve trying to reach its asymptote. Jen Maranzano was the asymptote in the women's race, winning in 18:54, so all three of us took home pies as a result. Instead of going with the traditional Dojo podium shirts, two pie winners sported commemorative Pi t-shirts for the awards ceremony.
