You read that right - just 1 mile! This neat race in Cambridge tests your speed with an all-out sprint, and we found out that Kate B is damn fast! She covered the distance in a blazing 6:55, not bad for a distance runner! We're proud of you Kate, you're having a great summer racing season!
Hockomock Y Sprint Triathlon - Wrentham, MA
A big congrats to Liz B. who represented NACHO in 3 sports (!!) finishing 2nd (!!) in her age group at the Hockomock Sprint Tri. She swam 0.25 miles, biked 9 miles and ran 3.1 miles in a wicked fast 1:05.12! You rock Liz!
Save the Bay Swim - Jamestown, RI
This year, the Save the Bay swim had a new course and a different theme. The "sequester swim" did not traverse the Bay from Newport to Jamestown due to government budget cuts, so the 300 swimmers covered the same distance (1.7 miles) in a clockwise triangle. NACHO swimmers Joe, Casey, Sarah, Brian and Tommy struggled with sighting and strong currents, but all exited the water at the end - we call that a successful swim!
Casey was the first NACHO out of the water, with a fast 53:05. Sarah was right behind him, finishing in 54:01. Brian had a great day, finishing under 1 hour for the 1st time and coming in at 57:39! Joe struggled with the current a bit, but managed a strong 1:08.00.
The team had a great support crew, and everyone enjoyed the ice cream and Dels lemonade at the finish line! More photos of the weekend can be found here!
