I am a bit behind on race results, so I am doing some updates from Easter weekend. For starters several RMEC members stayed close to home and raced in the Movin' For Community Outreach 5k. This third annual event is held in Tarboro. A 10:00 am start made for a warm race, but the RMEC still did very well.
Jon Singleton set a new PR with a time of 24:29. This performance placed Jon 15th overall out of 135 finishers. Jon's partner in crime, Amber Poole ran a solid 27:40, which was good enough for a 3rd place finish in her age group. Also racing from the RMEC was "5k-specialist" Tom Thurman finishing with a 24:57. Tom's time also earned him some hardware as he place 2nd in his age group.
Further from home, Ursula and Michael Forrester were running in the 35th annual Charlottesville 10-miler. This hilly course is one of the longest running races in Virginia. Running together they both posted a time of 1:30:02. Despite a strong finishing kick a sub-90 minute race was just out of grasp. This was still a solid PR for Ursula.
Well done everyone! Next up is the Tar-Heel 10-miler. . . we just need them to post some accurate race results. Stay tuned!
