Race(s) Recap - April 6th & 7th

Happy April NACHOs!!

Big race weekend for a large number of the group, and we wanted to share the impressive results here!

Cherry Blossom 10 Miler - Washington DC

Congrats to Kate for her impressive showing at the Cherry Blossom 10 miler in the cold weather, cranking out a 1:31:03 over the challenging course!  Well done Kate!  She'll be racing for the NACHO Ladies team in Harpoon next month!




Cambridge City Run 5 Miler - Cambridge MA

NACHO had two runners for this fast course around Fresh Pond in Cambridge, Liz and Chris, both using this as a tuneup for the Harpoon 5 Miler in May.  Chris covered the course in 42:40 (8:32/mile) and is in great position to make a mark on the NACHO Chip team.  Liz flew over the course in 31:31 (6:18/mile) winning her age group and finishing 2nd woman overall!!  She's in position to be one of the first NACHO finishers on the NACHO Cheese team next month - well done!!

But wait!  There's more!  Mike also ran in the race, a member of Harpoon NACHO Cheese, finishing in 32:26 (6:29/mile), right behind Liz!  We have to get you a NACHO shirt, Mike, so we'll be able to find you next time.  Well done!


Doyles 5 Miler - Jamaica Plain MA

Congrats to Curt for setting a PR in this hilly course through the Emerald Necklace region of Boston, finishing in 32:07 (6:25/mile).  He'll join Liz on the NACHO Cheese team next month!  He also presumably practiced his beer consumption for Harpoon at the finish line of Doyles!



Cohasset 10K - Cohasset MA

Tim traveled south along the coast to beautiful Cohasset to tackle the hills, wind and the free hot dogs at the famous Cohasset 10K.  Tim was the 60th finisher (out of over 1000 people!) and finished in 44:34 (7:11/mile), very impressive because of the wind and the huge hill at mile 4!  Congrats Tim, and team NACHO Beer is going to appreciate your hard work at Harpoon!

Moving to the Music 5K - Tiverton RI

A large contingent of NACHOs traveled down to RI to support Anne's family (race directors of this inaugural race, thank you runners!) for this beautiful 5K along the northern seacoast of RI.  Jon "took it easy" over the 5K course (with the Boston Marathon one week from today!) and cruised to a 2nd place overall finish in 19:17 (6:13/mile).  He'll be joining Curt and Liz next month on NACHO Cheese next month.  Brian 20:58 (6:46/mile) and Anne 23:16 (7:31/mile) took home 1st in age group honors, and Anne was 4th woman overall in a tight women's race.  Brian will be running on NACHO Beer and Anne with NACHO Ladies next month.  Derek was the next NACHO across the line, finishing in 24:02 (7:46/mile), followed by Jose in 26:31 (8:34/mile).  Jose will be running with Chris on NACHO Chip next month, keep up the great work Jose!  Kerri had an eventful race, running with her and Jon's dog Brady, for his first 5K, in 33:13 (10:43/mile).  Pretty impressive while nursing a hip injury and tied to an excited dog (who had his own NACHO shirt!).  She'll be joining Anne and Kate on the NACHO Ladies team next month!!  Cathy and Dave walked the course in a brisk 58 minutes, enjoying the scenery and cheering on their favorite NACHOs!

FANTASTIC JOB EVERYONE!
