Gold's Gym Water Park 5k Results

While many of us were running trails, or racing at the beach, two of the RMEC Masters snuck down the road to Greenville for a race at the Gold's Gym Water Park 5k. The race gets it's name, becuase runners are invited to jump in the pool to refresh after the run.

Ashley Bass and Brian Lankford, have been training hard in preparation for the Second Empire Race Series in Raleigh. This weekends 5k, was one final tuneup beofre the series begins.

Ashley had a very good race coming in 4th overall, and 1st in his age group with a time of 18:02. I expect a sub-18 performance will be seen very soon. Only 42 seconds behind came Brian in 6th place with a time of 18:44 also first in his age group. It was a hot and humid race but you would never know it by looking at their results! We all look forward to tracking your performances through out the Second Empire Series.
