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!
