Vermont Marathon Results

Fresh off a PR at Shamrock, John Batchelor decided to plan a family trip to Vermont, and run a marathon while he was there. So John tried to heal his injuries and cram in some training for the Key Bank Vermont City Marathon.

The race was held yesterday morning, and John continued his trend of setting PRs when he finished in 3:14:23. Keep in mind that John's first marathon was Chicago this past October where he ran 3:31 Four months later he ran Shamrock in 3:20. So in just over half a year John went from "marathon-virgin" to knocking 16 minutes off his time. You can view some
pretty cool details on his race results online at the race site.

Congrats John! Hope you have a great vacation.
