Race(s) Recap - April 27th & 28th

Another busy racing weekend for NACHOs all over the country!!

April 27th: Rock and Roll Half Marathon, Nashville TN
A big trip and great race to Grant, Kristen and Kim who traveled south to Nashville to brave 13.1 miles in the pouring rain! This was Kristen's FIRST half marathon, hope you had a blast because we can think of a ton more locally that you should do!  :-)
Grant - 2:14:06
Kristen - 2:30:32
Kim - 2:32:42

April 27th: Nike Women's Half Marathon, Washington DC
Congrats to Lydia for competing in the Nike Women's Half Marathon and finishing in a strong 2:47:41.  Not bad for battling the cold Wisconsin winter leading up to the race!  Can't wait to hear about what was contained in the Tiffany box gifted by the hunky firemen at the finish line!


April 27th: James Joyce Ramble 10K, Dedham MA
Liz B continues to kick ass and take names as she rocked the challenging JJ Ramble, setting a new 10K PR of 40:59 (that's a 6:43/mile pace over some HILLS!).  Watch out folks, she's on fire!


April 27th: Race for Research 5K, South Boston MA
As Derek B said, "I'm really getting into these 5Ks"...and setting PRs in the process!  Congrats Derek for breaking 21 minutes with 20:59 (6:45/mile) and finishing 2nd in his very competitive age group!  Derek is thanking the track workouts for getting his times down - glad they're helping!!



April 28th: Newport 10 Miler, Newport RI
Great job to Tim L. who rocked the Newport 10 miler in an impressive 1:12:06 (that's a 7:12 mile average!).  This PR was good enough to place him in the top 8 % and finish 5th in his age group!  Well done!!

April 28th: Spring Classic 5K, Cambridge MA
Only heard about this one because runners went right by NACHO headquarters in Cambridge, and we happened to see Lauren run by!  She was MOVIN', finishing in 20:45 (that's a 6:40 mile pace!) and finishing 1st in her age group!  Did any other NACHOs run this race?!

April 28th: 2.62M Run to Benefit the One Fund, Southborough MA
Great job to Kate B who raced this benefit in a FAST 20:52 (7:57 pace, well done) and raised money to support the victims of the Boston Marathon bombing.  You had a great day to stretch out the legs, Kate!
