I am about a week late, but still wanted to get this posted. Congrats to everyone who completed the Medoc Trail 10-miler. We once again were blessed with perfect weather. This year eight members from the RMEC raced. Our first finisher was John Clark (aka Teddy Cheetah) finishing in 1:17:09 and in 10th place. Just one minute and one place later Kevin Boudreau finished in 1:18:20. John took 1st in his age group, and Kevin took second in his.
Abraham Cox (1:22:55) and Ted Lord (1:23:18) were the next to arrive and both cracked the top 20 and placed third in their age groups! Rounding out the RMEC men can Larry McKeel with a 1:36:49, and Eric Seale with a 1:41:49. Larry knocked a minute off of last year's time. This was Eric's longest foot roace to date (which will change in two weeks).
On the women's side, Ursula Forrester place 28th among all women with a 1:44:38. This was run just six days after the Steamtown Marathon. Jeannie Kerr added another trail race to here resume finishing in 52nd with a 1:55:25. Great job ladies!
On the Marathon side, only one RMEC member took on the challenge of the marathon. Amber Poole finished the challenging triple loop course in 5:55:35. Amber has now joined a very small group of RMEC runners who have run the Medoc Trail Marathon (Brent, Dave, and Eric). Great job Amber!
Special thanks to the club members for volunteering on race day. We know it is a lot of time and effort that you sacrifice to help us out. I speak for Frank, Scott and Ron when I say thanks to: Steve, Russ, Charlotte, Jon, Ashley, Julian, Yvonne, Ted, Liz, Dennis, I am sure I missed somebody. If it was you. . . thank you too!
So much fun! RMEC rocked it! Especially Amber, the marathon crazy!
ReplyDeleteAnd Michael . . . the Re-Run doesn't count as a marathon finish??
Reruns count! I just meant that on race day only a select few have toed the line.
