Mendy Taylor's winning streak continued at the Mad Dash 10K on Labor Day, as she continued to destroy most local competition (as she has done basically all year). Her 36:32 not only outpaced the second-place female (FOG Connie Grace) by an astounding 2:13, but it was fast enough for second overall, less than a minute behind the men's winner. The time improved her PR, set earlier this year at the Kingston Classic, by over a minute.
C-Boy hung tough, racing with Mendy until the late stages, and running an impressive 36:40 for third overall and first master. Kevin Roach was fifth master in a solid 39:18 (15th overall).
Other Gunkers:
Brian Nagle 24th place (3rd 50-59) 40:29
Mark Mulpeter 26th place 40:35
Anne Gullickson 27th place (2nd master) 40:44
Steve Schallenkamp 60th place 44:55
Jason Taylor 70th place 45:41
Other FOGs:
Wayne McDaniel 9th place (4th master) 38:29
Mark Wilson 22nd place 40:21
Doug Freese 81st place (2nd 60-69) 46:24
In the 5K, Gavin Gullickson led the Gunkers with a strong 17:44 for eighth overall (second age-group), showing that he is more than ready for the upcoming cross-country season. Great job Gavin! Tomi Stern was the first Gunk female, running 20:08 to place third in the master's race. FOGs/tri-geeks Dr. Mike Halstead (17:56, 1st master) and Mark Wilson (19:29, 5th master) had nice tuneups for the upcoming SOS triathlon. Mark ran the traditional 5K/10K double, which I can attest is no picnic.
