Halfway to Mardi Gras 5K

Great job to the NACHOs who came out to run the Mardi Gras 5K in Cambridge last night.  Kyndal is getting ready for her big marathon on Saturday, so she was able to watch Catherine as Kristen, Maggie and Anne took on the flat, fast course.  Great run everyone!

Twist and Shout on the Charles River 5K

The NACHO jungle shirts made their bright debut at the Twist and Shout 5K.  The race format is much improved over previous years, with the runners split into 3 waves.  Kyndal, Jen and Anne were in Wave 1 and were able to open up and run uninhibited.  Congrats to Jen for her first race back post-baby, only 3 months out!!

VERT Sasquatch Results!

Congrats to Team NACHO for finishing 7th out of 40 teams for the VERT Sasquatch race.  In a very competitive field, NACHO was led by newcomer Katie Hand, running an impressive 15:57.  That's a blazing 6:47 pace over the very challenging 2.35 mile trail!  Next across the line for NACHO was another newcomer - Dannon Stacer, finishing right behind her in what must have been a photo finish, 15:57 as well!  Jefferson Shaw was the next NACHO to finish, running a quick 16:03.  Those NH trail runs in grad school must be paying off!  Great job scoring NACHOs!  We were very very close to finishing 4th, it was a very tight race!

Freedom Run / National Running Day / What's Up For June?

Happy National Running Day!

Hope everyone's having a good day and getting out there to squeeze a few miles in. This past weekend the Nacho AC crew participated in the Freedom Run at the CambridgeSide Galleria, brought to us by our friends at the Cambridge 5K Series (Craigfest, Oktoberfest, etc.). This was a team event for the crew and we lucked out. Everyone did a great job and we brought home a 3rd place victory - a surprise to most!

If anyone else has results from this past weekend, let us know, so we can post them! We LOVE to celebrate everyone's successes.  

June Happenings:  

I'm going to let Pen take this one with the email coming out tonight, so keep an eye out for that. Make sure to follow the link at the bottom of the email, so you can fill in all of the races you're entered in for the season. Make sure you've joined the facebook group too because this holds more recent information regarding races.   

Also, a final note - there were rumblings this weekend after the Slumbrew team was walking around with super cool coozies / glasses. Would anyone be interested in getting these to be used at future races / drinking events? I'll see what I can find. Just let me know in the comments if you would be interested in purchase.  

Thanks,

A big welcome to Catherine London for "running" her first race.  She slept through it, but seemed happy when she woke up during the post-race Chipotle meal.  And welcome Grant to the Boston/Cambridge chapter from the Mid-Atlantic chapter!
