Recent Results - much delayed!

Sorry NACHOs...Pen has been traveling and his internet has been wacky at his house, so the results took awhile to compile!  We know you've been eagerly awaiting them...!

Congrats to Jon for taking the Triple Crown award in the Goodtimes Race Series in Lowell MA this year!  What is the triple crown?  According to his proud wife Kerri, "setting a personal record, completing all races in the series, and finishing 3rd in his age group"!  Congrats Jon!

June 6th: Summer Race Series #2, Cambridge MA

Team NACHO finished 9th out of a very competitive 12 team field, with strong performances from all of their runners; Ray, Kyndal, Serena, Christine, Kevin and Meghan.  Congrats on Kyndal for her new 5K PR, going under 7 minute pace!  Blazin' fast!


June 8th: Walpole Village 5K, Walpole MA

Kyndal kept the fast streak alive with ANOTHER incredible 5K performance, finishing this race in 22 flat, good enough for 3rd place female overall!!  We're so proud of you, Kyndal!

June 8th: Camp Pendleton Mud Run 10K, Camp Pendleton CA

Jason, Casey, Brian and Anne joined some of their great friends to raise money for the Fleisher Foundation and run through the mud for "The World Famous Mud Run" at the Camp Pendleton Marine base in southern California.  Anne caught the team in action with her "super camera" as they battled fire hoses, ran up mountainsides, climbed over walls, sloshed through mud and crawled through obstacles.  Brian had a great day, finishing 10th/241 in his age group and 41st man overall.  Jason also finished 10th/259 in his age group and 97th overall.  Not bad for close to 3100 men running!  Not sure how Casey did (couldn't find his results), but he got muddy just like the rest of the crew!  Sarah and Jay traveled from NY, and finished 44th and 25th in their age groups, respectively!  Amy got muddy with her entire family (Howie, Ayla and Jayden) and cruised to a 74th place finish in her age group!  Well done everyone!  And what event is complete without fast cars?  Ask Jason Ha. all about it!

Brian, Jason and Sarah letting the mud sink in!
June 15th: Mount Washington Road Race, Pinkham Notch NH

Big congrats to Xiao who bravely climbed the "rock pile", beating over half the field and finishing under 2 hours!  Photos can be found here, but it's tough to appreciate HOW STEEP the grade is of the mountain!  Some stats on the "course"...
  • Elevation gain 4727 ft. (1440.79 meters)
  • Length 7.6 miles (12.23 kilometers)
  • Grade Avg. 12%, extended 18%, final 100 yards 22%
  • Road Surface 87% paved, 13% packed gravel
Pretty bad ass, Xiao.  We're proud of you!  Well done representing NACHO!

June 16th: Battle of Bunker Hill 8K, Charlestown MA

Well done Chris for competing in this tough course through Charlestown!  Chris ran a competitive 40:18, averaging just over an 8 min mile!  Great job!!

Chris (in orange, what else?!) working hard!

June 16th: Ribfest 5M, Merrimack NH

Congrats to the MANY NACHOs (!!) who rocked out at the Ribfest (yum!) 5 miler!  Jon ran an impressive 30:48 to finish 12th overall!  Gretchen continued her fast streak finishing in 43:47, and Kerri, who has been superwoman running with a hip injury, wasn't slowed at all, finishing in 46:18!  Kevin crossed the tape in 49:52, and his Mom Sherri wasn't far behind, in 49:58!  Looks like other family members ran as well, great job everyone!

The Will family celebrating fathers day with a race and ribs!
