We had a great turnout for the weekend run at the Harris Teeter. 22 total people joined us for the run! It was enough runners to snap a picture for a new web page header. Even though we had a crowd in Rocky Mount, we also had a few RMEC members racing.
Flat Out 5k: This Saturday in Greenville, 252 lined up for the Flat Out 5k. Jeff Hartney was able to beat all but eight of those runners with a time of 19:21. This was good enough for 1st in his age group by two full minutes! Tom Thurman was the next RMEC runner to finish with a time of 26:11 and 13th out of 25 in his age group. Arthur Bennett also performed well finishing in 28:20. For complete results vist ecrun.org. Great job guys!
Kure Beach Triathlon: Further from home, two RMEC members competed in the Kure Beach Triathlon. This is not your typical tri. It takes the following format: 375 meter swim, 1.5 mile run, 20K bike, 1.5 mile run, and another 375 meter swim. Nothing like running to the finish line coming out of the ocean! Jeff Miller finished in 76th with a time of 1:11:26. Dave Lavely was only five minutes behind crossing the line at 1:16:42. Visit Setup Events for complete results.
BASF Smile Train Triathlon: Also racing a tri this weekend was Ursula Forrester in Wake Forest. Ursula finished the sprint triathlon in 1:24:20. This pool swim event was a Finish Strong event. This organization continues to put on solid races. The detailed results are not available yet, so we do not know Ursula's placing.
Ursula - saw your results. Excellent job. There were a large number of people in that race. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks. Overall I'm happy with it. Transitions were good (for me). The bike was interesting. I must have passed 25 people (because quite a few were on mountain bikes). I bombed on the swim though. Need to work on that for sure.
