Weekend Result Roundup

Congrats to the Capitol Hill Gang. 

• The Summer of Jenny continues. Jenny Paul comes in 2nd place after a 20 hour international flight. Runs 38:27 (6:12 pace). 
• Shlomo cranks to 8th place, with a very impressive 35:09 (5:40 pace). 
• Matthew Newman returns to the US distance racing scene. He runs 41:58, which is 6:46 pace. 

Way to go everyone!

Also, I wanted to add one result that I missed from a couple weeks back. At the Broad Street Run, Colin McGrath blazed to a 30th overall finish with a 53:43 (5:22 pace over 10 miles). 

The result landed him in 2nd on the overall club record books. Congrats Colin!

Weekend Results - International Division

Congrats to Jenny Paul, who continues her hot streak with an international win at the Bay Run in Glengariff, Ireland. Jenny came in 3rd overall and 1st woman, with a time of 1:25:02 (just a hair off her PR). 

Results here. 

Congrats to Jenny! 

If there are any results I missed, go ahead and circulate and I'll update the blog.

Massanutten Mountain Trails 100 Miler

We have a lot of envelope-pushers in the Dojo. But even in this crew, Barry Hauptman exists in a very narrow part of our bell curve. Here's a quick recap of Barry's 100 mile race from this weekend:

Barry finished MMT in 29:47.   He was 51st overall and reports that this was the most difficult race he has ever done - more difficult even than Leadville a few years ago.  It's a very technical trail to begin with - lots and lots of rocks, and one Hill after another with very few flat, easily runnable sections - and it was made more difficult by the large amount of rain on Friday - very slippery in lots of places, particularly the downhills.  Barry is exhausted but satisfied - looking forward to another 100 in a month. 

Congrats Barry!!! Incredible job. 

Weekend Results

Here's a quick roundup of the weekend's action:

Big Sur Marathon:

• Robin Watkins jumps in the 21 mile race and comes in 2nd with a 2:46:40
• Pat Murray knocks out the Boston 2 Big Sur double, running 3:05 for this round. His aggregate time from the two races puts him 9th among all doublers. 
• The other Watkins, Adam, also completes the Boston 2 Big Sur double, running a 3:06. He's one of the few to go negative split between the two races, running 6 minutes faster than Boston. 

North Face Endurance Challenge:

• Shlomo Fishman places 3rd overall on the trails, running a 1:30 and snagging this cool podium photo with his 5 year old brother in law who appears to be some kind of tiger. 

Crystal City 5k:

• Jeff Redfern puts up a 6th place finish at the Crystal City Friday 5k. Sounds like a fun time for anyone looking to run fast.

Bright Beginnings 5K:

• Jenny Paul wins the Bright Beginning 5K (a Dojo favorite race) with a time of 19:19.

As always, any omissions are from incompetence, not intention. Email around other results!

Park Run Results

A belated but noteworthy dispatch from America's Park Run impresario, Henry Wigglesworth:

Three dojoistas came to today's Fletcher's Cove parkrun and ran very well. Jenny Paul set a new course record for women (18:56), despite sprinting from Georgetown to make it to the start on time.  Laura Jennings and Paul Karlsen took it easier and finished around 21:30.  For full results click on link below.

As a reminder, parkrun is every Saturday at 9:00 a.m. and is a friendly, free alternative to local 5K races. And it is getting increasingly competitive near the top: today, in addition to Jenny's record setting pace, we had two men go under 17 (including 40-something Scott Anderson, a sub-4 miler back in the day).  Course record for men stands at 15:39.

So c'mon down!  Meanwhile, according to reports, Alan is winning his age group in parkruns in London.

Other results in the works

Update

Jim Moore, Miles Aitken, and Pat Murray have come through 23. They all are looking solid, cranking along. The crowd and the field is starting to thicken up!

Update

Edna wins, Hasay third in debut.

Looks like Rupp is in for a tough battle for second. Osako came through looking great right behind him. If Rupp holds him off, that would be impressive.

Adam at 30k in 6:54 pace.

Lydia running in 7:54 pace 

Steve in 8:14 pace

Miles in 6:20 pace. 

Women's leaders

Just came through. Edna looks like she has it sewn up. 

Jordan Hasay, if the crowd buoys her, has a very good chance at 2nd, in her marathon debut. 

Desi in fourth, still grinding.

Boston Update

Rupp is looking really solid in a slowly dwindling lead pack through 17. 

Edna Kiplagat is just obliterating the field.

Big surge by Edna Kiplagat

1:46 in, during the hills, Edna kiplagat throws down a massive surge. Splintered the lead pack completely...

Still waiting

On the first women to come through.

In the shade, the temps actually feel good. A nice tailwind. But in the sun, it is pretty brutal out here.

Miles is through 15k in 6:05 pace. 

Pat is through 15k in 6:26 pace

Adam through 15k in 6:42 pace

Gearing Up

Robin is on Dojo tracking, Jen on Letsrun tracking, me on blogging...

Race Morning

It is 65 degrees here on race morning, with clear skies. There is a 12-15 mph wind coming from the west, which should be a nice tailwind. But the temps are certainly on the warm side.

Bull Run 50 Miler

Big congrats to the Dojo-istas who ran the Bull Run 50 Miler today. Based on the preliminary results, it looks like there were 285 crazy people who finished today.  

Tim Greszler made a stellar debut at the distance in 8:20 (19th place). 

Barry Hauptman - no stranger to ultras - runs 9:13 and wins the senior division. 

Pat and Robin were also out there working the aid stations. 

Way to go everyone!
