Winter Updates: Some random races

Plenty of FOGs out at the Celebrate Life Half Marathon in March, as well as the Race Around Briggs (where we did not get a team together as usual...Steve, why can't we ever make that happen?), so I won't go into detail here, except to mention that Pat Lopiano and Steve Schallenkamp represented the group quite well at Briggs.

Trail racing: at the infamous Mudders and Grunters trail run in Westchester, in addition to an outstanding win by SRC store manager and Gunker/FOG Justin Harris, Paul Muessig ran a strong 42:28 for the exacting 5-mile technical course, good for first place in the 50-59 age group. And there was a slew of good performances at the Mt. Penn Mudfest 15K, a perennial favorite of Gunkers and FOGs, which I detailed on the SRC blog.

At the world-renowned Cherry Blossom 10 mile in Washington, DC, C-Boy continued his excellent 2009 with a brilliant 1:00:50, a new PR for the distance, which landed him fifth in the 50-54 age group. Myron Baker ran a strong 1:07:32 for third among 60-64-year-olds.
