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.
