A few RMEC runners participated in the Reindeer Dash for Cash this past Sunday in Greenville. This afternoon race consists of a 5k and a 10-miler, and usually draws a decent size crowd for both races. In the 5K, Ashley Bass continues to impress, taking 2nd place overall out of a field of 316 finishers! The 50-year old RMEC member just narrowly missed first place by a margin of 13 seconds. His finishing time was a 17:55 (a 5:46 pace if your are curious). For complete 5k results, visit the Active site.
In the 10-miler drew a crowd of 142 runners. Among those were Steve Cooper and Patti Miller, both of whom are returning from some injuries and time off. Steve finished 5th in his age group with at time of 1:22:53 in his first race since OBX. Patti continues to run pain free and had a nice run of 1:32:09. Complete results are found here. Once Steve and Patti team up with their spouses, they look to assemble some strong teams in the Sweetheart 5k!
I would like to post some Medoc Rerun results, but need to hear from more of the people that ran. We ended up with close to 30 runners. Five did the full marathon on a very chilly morning. They were Frank (RMEC), Levi (RMEC), William, Tom, and Dave. All earned their Medoc Medals and finisher hats. Great job guys!
Way to go, Frank!
ReplyDelete11 down, 1 to go ... in your 12 Marathons in 12 Months task.
As always, you are an inspiration!
Having ran the 10 miler at Medoc back in October, my hat's off to everyone who ran--especially those gluttons who tamed the marathon distance. Kudos everyone!!!
ReplyDeleteUnbelievable Ashley! That was a totally awesome race! Don't know how you can do it! My hat's off to you!!
ReplyDeleteSteve and Patti . . . glad your both back running again. Injuries suck!
Frank
I'm not sure what our time was on the 10-miler.
