Following the mold of Eric, the "ever-shrinking" Brad Kerr also took on Lake Royale. Months of not running from an injury has forced Brad into heavy cross training. This showed up in his swim and in the bike leg where he averaged a solid 17.7 mph. Overall, Brad finished 8th in his age group.
Brian Lankford also decide to sneak in a quick race over the weekend when he drove down I-95 to compete in the Selma Railroad Run. Despite a field of just 114 runners, it was pretty stacked at the front. Brian ran a 6:02 pace on his way to a 18:43 5k. This was good enough for 6th overall, and second in his age group. It should be pointed out the 47 year old Brian was second to a 40 year old.
Kinnie Pruden was also racing a Tri this weekend at the HalfMax Championship. Poor water conditions turned the event into a biathlon instead, so the race began with a 56 mile bike ride, where Kinnie posted an amazing 2:36:15 averaging 21.5 mph. The hard push on the bike made for a challenging run, but she was still able to finish with a strong 2:26:47 half marathon time. In total she finihed in 5:08:03 and 34th in her age group. Don't let the place fool you. This was a qualifying event for Nationals, so the field of competitors was stacked!
Great job everyone! As always, please let me know when you race so I can get it on the blog. Your running performances is a big motivator to others. Better yet, I always love a race report. It can be one paragraph, or a short story. . . if I can copy-and-paste, it makes thing easier for me.
I love to see this many folks racing. Some really fast folks and impressive results! Great job everyone!
