Updated Race Report for October 11 weekend

Here's some feedback on this past weekend's races:

 

Chicago:

Danny, unfortunately,  was unable to finish due to a broken foot injury which resulted in severe pain and swelling.  Sorry this happened Danny and hope you heal quickly. Hope to see you one of these days soon.

 

Still waiting to hear from Idanny, one of our newer runners who also ran Chicago.  I inadvertently had not added her to our distribution until today.  I'll share her results when I hear back from her.

 

Army Ten Miler in D.C.

As it turns out we had two in our group run this race which drew 35,000 runners

 Lynne, who is a one-time resident of Winter Park and a career Army Intelligence  civilian employee in the Pentagon.  Excerpts of her experience follow:

 

• She finished in the top 20% of her age group
• The Golden Knights parachuted in just across the street from the runner corrals before the start and a group of WWII aircraft flew over in formation after the race. Since there were 20+ planes, that was pretty cool.

 

Gina, who splits her time between Clermont, D.C., and travelling the country in her role as a consultant:

 

·        The weather was perfect at 60 degrees

·        They did an amazing job of keeping 35,000 runners

 

 I found out just this morning that our own Track Shacks race division has been (orchestrating this race for some time now!!

 

Wendy reports:  "Marathon #14 in the books & completed Pennsylvania at The Steamtown Marathon! Not my fastest, not my slowest but happy with a 4:56 for not training."
