It was an exciting weekend of racing for some of the Sal’s
Racing Team. The races began on Friday night with Jan and I doing the McMullenMile. My prediction was a 6:48 and I ended up at 6:54. At least I was under 7:00,
which was important to me. I also picked up 5 or 6 Runner of the Year points,
my first points of the season, so I’m going in the right direction. Jan beat my
prediction for her of an 8:32 and ran an 8:23, good enough for 2nd
place in her age group and 9 RROY points. I think the lightning storm that
moved in during her last two laps spurred her on. I was surprised they kept
racing and personally did not feel very comfortable standing next to the
all-metal bleachers waiting for the race to end. The meet got postponed until Saturday
morning after Jan’s race.
Saturday morning Pete “The Ageless Wonder” won his age group
at the Lifetime Assistance 5k. Across
town Eileen won her age group at the Fast & Furriest 10k.
Sunday morning Joanne and Lou ran the Niagara Falls Women’sHalf Marathon (in Canada no less). Lou ran the mostly all-women’s race because
he was promised his own port-a-potty. Well, maybe not. Maybe he’s a nice
husband who wanted to support his wife and help her finish a 13.1 mile race?
You decide.
