Race(s) Recap: Aug 8th-11th

Thursday Aug 8th: RACE Summer Series #4, Boston MA

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!





Sunday Aug 12th: Falmouth Road Race, Falmouth MA

Congrats to the NACHOs who traveled to the Cape for the world famous Falmouth Road Race.  Theresa covered the 7 mile course in 1:05:34, and her sister Colleen in 1:28:37.  Mike C was also there, and completed the course in 1:04:50!  Great job guys!

NEWS!

Big congrats to Anne Z who is running with twins!  TWO little NACHOs on the way!!

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!

NACHO at the Millrose Games!

Not, competing...but we were there!

NACHO Mary (from the Mid-Atlantic Chapter) was able to attend the game and report on some of the fastest athletes in the world!  This is what she reported back to us,

"I got to wear a tie as I was an "official" for the night.  My first time wearing a tie in awhile, but someone was able to help me put it on.  My main role for the night was updating the MillroseGames Twitter account on the meet results while I sat in the Millrose media room.  I was able to watch most of the meet when I wasn't on Twitter (or as much as my view allowed me to see, as I could only really see the finish area and not much else of the race).  I was able to get up close with some Olympians who competed last night, and a friend took some photos of me with them.

Trey Hardee was the 2012 silver medalist in the decathlon this past summer Olympics.  He competed in the 60 hurdles last night.

Bernard Lagat set a new American 2-mile record last night, running a 8:09.49.  Nick Symmonds is the 6-time outdoor 800m national champion and placed 5th in the 2012 Olympics.  He ran the 600m last night.

Adam Nelson, a Dartmouth grad, was there last night as a lifetime achievement segment.  But for a lot of people at Millrose, it was more like a recognition ceremony for the gold medal he should have won originally in 2004 Olympics (the original gold medalist has since been found of doping).  He's won two silver medals in the shot put at the Olympics.

A very cool night indeed!  Hope you get a chance to watch the replay on ESPN this afternoon."

Check out some of her photos!
