Patrick Henry Half Results

Last weekend, Steve and Arthur headed towards Richmond to run in the Patrick Henry Half Marathon. This race is largely used by the locals as a training race for the Richmond Marathon, and has gown in popularity each year. This year, it drew 1,264 runners.

Steve had a tremendous race, knocking about five minutes off his PR. His finishing time was 1:51:16. Not to be outdone, Arthur also ran a fantastic race with a time of 2:08:14. This was only 15 seconds off his PR which was set at Myrtle Beach under perfect conditions. As you all know, last Saturday was 172% humidity, so both RMEC runners pushed through the tough weather.

Great job guys! Click here to see some pretty good race photos of both
Steve and Arthur.

    Thanks Amber. I wish I had checked my watch at mile 12 instead of mile 13.2
