Kyndal does it again!  She finished 3rd in the women's race in 22:14 (that's a 7:10/mile pace!).  Adam ran with Team CRC in the co-ed team race and blazed to a 17:19 2nd place overall finish (yeah, that's a 5:35/mile!).  Congrats guys!

Saturday Aug 10th: Zooma Half Marathon, Chicago IL

Kyndal took to the skies and traveled to Chicago to race in this "disorganized" event with a couple of friends...you wouldn't know it by her time, finishing 33rd out of 652 - 1:45:42, and setting a PR by about 8 minutes from her last half marathon in September of 2012!

Saturday Aug 10th: Chilmark 10K, Chilmark MA

This was Kate's 5th consecutive 5K Chilmark Road Race which took place in Chilmark, MA on Martha's Vineyard.  It is a hilly course that draws runners back year after year to race.  Kate tackled the hills with an 8:30 pace finishing in 26.22. Kate's mom, Cammie, and sister, Carrie, also jogged the entire 5k, finishing in 40.10.  This was the first race that both of them have ever run!  Congrats Bryant family!

Happy August Racing NACHOs!!

Saturday Aug 3rd: Pan Mass Challenge, Wellesley-Bourne MA

Kyndal rode in the Pan-Mass Challenge, 84 miles from Wellesley/Babson College to Bourne / Mass Maritime. Skies were overcast and we had a few drops of rain during the ride, but this turned out to be perfect for keeping her cool - couldn't have asked for a better day. The ride supports Dana-Farber and the Jimmy Fund, and all together was an amazing experience - she can't wait to do it again next year!

Kyndal and her friend Tom!

Sunday Aug 4th: Niantic Bay Sprint Triathlon, Niantic CT

Congrats to Patty, Jen and Ray who swam, biked and ran to a 5th place finish in the Niantic Sprint Triathlon this past weekend!  Patty had her fastest 0.5 mile swim ever in 16:25; Ray completed his first bike event and covered the 12 mile bike in 37:57; and Jen flew over the 5K course in 21:19!  Great job team, and welcome to NACHO Patty!

Sunday Aug 4th: Run 4 Kerri 4 Miler, Matunuck RI

Anne and Brian were happy to attend the Run 4 Kerri, a great little race in Southern RI that attracts some top notch runners (an Olympian won this year!).  Brian regretted his seafood dinner from the night before, and blamed the lobster reduction on his time of 27:28 (6:53/mile).  Anne was really excited to still be running (at 28 weeks pregnant) and covered the distance in 42:12 (10:33/mile).  Both had a great time and were happy to support such a great event!

Race(s) Recap: July 26th-28th

Friday July 26th: Blessing of the Fleet 10 Miler, Narragansett RI

It was a meeting of the NACHO chapters as Mary and Patrick made the 6 hour trek north to race with Brian for the premier RI summer race, the Blessing of the Fleet.  Mary and Patrick were ready and pumped to race the challenging course for the first time, and Brian, in the spirit of Patrick's training philosophy, realized that "he could run 5 miles so he could most definitely run 10"...and was a late entry.  Anne was an enthusiastic cheerleader and photographer and captured some NACHO moments before, during and after the race.  More photos can be found here.

Sunday July 28th: Lowell Sprint Triathlon, Lowell MA

Big congrats to Jon who finished 2nd in his division for the Swim 0.25 Mile, Bike 11 Miles, Run 3 Miles event!  Rocking an orange tri outfit (love it!), Jon was all smiles as he completed the course in 1:01.59.  That breaks down to the swim in 7:36, the bike in 30:33 and the run in 21:20!  Congrats Jon, we're proud of you!
