We have a few RMEC members racing this weekend in some endurance events. For starters, Steve Cooper and Eric Pate will compete in their first half ironman distance triathlons on Saturday. Both guys are racing White Lake. True to history, the temperatures will sky rocket this weekend and hit a high of 90 on Saturday. Good luck guys. . . stay hydrated!
Further from home, Dave Lavely and Dennis Crossen will be racing in the Pittsburgh Marathon. This will be the second marathon for Dennis, and I think the 300th marathon for Dave. This race was "reborn" last year after several years of not being run. Last year was met with rave reviews, and a large crowd of runners. We look forward to seeing how two of our "PA boys" in the RMEC handle the bridges of the race.
Running the furthest marathon from Rocky Mount is John Clark (aka Teddy Cheetah). John is taking on the Eugene Marathon on Sunday. This scenic race takes in miles of bike trails along the river and finishes on the historic Hayward Track. I must admit, I am amazingly jealous. John, I hope you will share a race report when you return.
Good luck everyone!
