18 runners (that I could find) ran at the Dash for Cash two weekends ago, and had some very impressive performances. With this many running it would take too long to write details about everyone, so I will stick with a list instead:

In the 10-Mile Ashely (Ageless) Bass took 6th overall. He lead the RMEC relay team (Ashley, John, Emily, and Tim) to a third place finish. The Kenyan team from Chapel Hill put together a team that was untouchable (they won by over half an hour). 2nd place went to the Greenville team which happened to have a team member with a very strong resemblance to Derek Hurdle.
In the 5k team competition, Zack Shea (Tim's son) lead the RMEC to a second place finish. The team consisted of Zack, Tom, George, Jon, and Amber. They beat the third place team by over three minutes. The other RMEC team consisted of Margaret, Eric, Brandie, and Alane. The powerful rookie team posted a combined time of 1:36:27.
It was great to have som many from the RMEC out supporting local racing, and supporting each other. Great job everyone!
Great race... I will, however, complain about the lack of a timing mat at the start. I lost a good 20 seconds by being stuck in the back.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the first turn on Reade St. is a bad bottleneck! Who knows how much time is lost down that stretch. Perhaps a wave start would help?
They really need to improve on these things next year. This years race had 700 runners and that's way too many to not have accurate timing.
I totally agree with Amber. Felt like I had a great race after the first mile. Too many people starting at one time and couldn't get around them...felt like I had a chance at a PR! Had a terrific time racing on a team though! Can't wait to do it again.
ReplyDeleteMargaret :O)
Good feedback guys. Please share with Dawn at the race. I know she is focused on a great race, and she would be able to look at this next year. Use the contact section on their site.
ReplyDeleteEveryone's encouragement was such a lift...thanks so much...Margaret should be a motivational speaker...she is such a dynamo!
