Congrats to Elaine and Misty on their great race performances this weekend in Virginia! Both have been training for the Colonial Half Marathon in Williamsburg, and their hard work showed through in their results. In November Elaine and Misty clocked a solid 2:30:54 at the First Carolina State Bank Half Marathon. Just three months later, Misty ran a 2:21:05 and Elaine a 2:24:42. Great job ladies!When looking up race results, I always seem to find something of interest unrelated to the RMEC. This time is has to do with the women's race winner. Buzunesh Deba from New York ran an amazing 1:15:13. She only missed the women's course record by 11 seconds! That is even more impressive when you consider this is a 30 year old race.

Sounds like a great event and two good runs. Note the both won their respective name divisions. And I'll just bet each was smiling at the finish line!

Great job, ladies ! How did the post-race shopping go ?
ReplyDeleteThe post race shopping was as successful as the race. So was the pre-race wine tasting at Boddie-Noell's new winery in New Kent, VA!
ReplyDeleteThe race course was beautiful. We started the race in a cold, light rain and finished in a beautiful snow. The weather then cleared on Monday for our marathon shopping spree. I beat Elaine in the shopping marathon on Monday, and I think we might get invited back next year. Thanks for all the good wishes!
Misty
Sounds like my kind of triathlon. . .

Thanks Everyone.
ReplyDeleteWe had a great time.
And Michael, it was sponsored by Anheuser Busch so there was free beer at the end of the race, which Misty and I passed up, but you may want to add it to your list next year.
Free Beer?!!!
ReplyDeleteNow this is a blog you need to add to list to find out this stuff!
Great job Misty and Elaine. Can't wait to hear what great deals you found.
